The wood is refinished. But it still looks like original wood.
Rounding over of the edges would only be seen when the refinisher does not know how or when to use sandpaper.
If you mean the checkering looks good by it being sharp, then sure. The borders however are far too heavily cut and are not mullered. Also, fully pointing on a recut of a VH or PH forend is not the way to go. This leaves the latch standing up proud of the wood by a lot. And that can lead to a cutting hazzard on your hands at each end of the latch. The proper way to gain some extra wood to recut the checkering on these grades of guns is to set the latch down into the wood some.
