No collector status expected. Just making it "good", though it will be as "good" as I can make it.The finish is a lacquer with a stain under it, but it will be hard to match. That stock will never be a "collector", so just do your best. Making it a good shooter is more important to its value than its cosmetics.
You work magic! well done! B/TNeeds just a touch of stain in the checkering. It lightened up when the lacquer was applied. Much more obvious in the pics than in person.

Outstanding job of blending.Final pictures sent to the owner. Pics taken outside for better lighting.
Just a bit of stain in the checkering.
Thank you for the information about the finish.
When repairing for resale I default to oil for most older guns and polyurethane for newer stuff.
For a customer/friend I wanted it to be correct.
This was his fathers rifle and will likely go to one of his grandchildren.

If you don't mind me asking, how did the break occur? Seems like a strange place for a stock to split off wood? B/TFinal pictures sent to the owner. Pics taken outside for better lighting.
