Another update. It did shrink back to size thankfully. The butt plate and cap are black again. Managed to repair some chipped inletting to some degree. Took me a few batches of acraglass to get the sawdust coloring method down so the right side is far superior to the left. Also successfully filled in the gaping crack that opened up in the acetone soak near the butt plate. Put some acraglass down into the stress cracking, and used 2p-10 thin on some other fine cracks under the butt plate to shore them Up. steamed out all the dents, that was a 5 hour chore. Lightly sanded, and hit it with some water to preview the grain.

The final boss is epoxying a dowel in the trigger guard hole and resetting the screw. There was nothing but some tape jammed around the screw holding it in when I removed it.

Then it’s just a couple coats of timberluxe and out to the clays course.

At some point I will try to make a flat top checkering tool to chase the checkering, research is ongoing on that front.

Seems like it’s going to come out to be a winner
