Yeah, that forend might be toast to repair it correctly. It is so buggard up that getting a clean flat top job will be impossible. If it was an isolated pattern with full borders, you could maybe spot sand it down enough to do something with it, but the pattern goes all the way to the metal, so you can't. Personally, if you wanted to make it look better, I would just recut a fully pointed pattern on it. That would cover up all the mistakes, provided the bad lines don't steer you off course. Doing that would at least look better than what you have now, even if it is not correct.

And honestly, even though a square cutter is proper for that english style flat top checkering, if you us a 60 degree V cutter and do not go too deep. Not many will know the difference.
