It's not going to work. Another issue is stock finish won't match & you have to match the checkering: lines/in, cutter degree. & lines/in are probably metric. Also, you have an agreement on the job (SBP) & half way through he doesn't want to finish the job as agreed to. With all the money you're going to put into this, do the forearm, too.
Based on your pictures you can’t tell if he's a good stock maker or not. What you're seeing is a sanded stock. You need to look at the quality of the inletting; nice tight fight & no bedding compound to fill the gaps.
