Hi Chuck,
The sanded area goes from 0 to about 1/16" to 3/32" at its deepest point and measures about 2" x 1 1/2". If you look at the picture of the stock that I posted the area in question is located half way between the toe and the heel and about 2' in from the butt plate. My preference would be to fix the stock and have it refinished. I am located in So Cal and have had Bud Duncan at Duncan's Gun Works refinish several shotguns with excellent results. He usually has Keith Kearcher refinish the damascus barrels.
I respect Dean's comment but I think she needs a makeover!
Again, many thanks for all of your comments.
P.S. I always enjoy the photo's of your four legged friends!
