The only good thing about the old stock is there is no decision whether to make a new one or try to fix the old one. Ones in the latter category will drive you nuts

Nice stock. Grain seems to run right up through the wrist as it should. Not that many V grades have stocks that nice.

You mean you don't like the aching finger wrists and elbows and how you loose your fingerprints for a couple days ?
No it's a crap job I agree ...I'm a real sucker,usually wait till I have 8 to 10 sets to do, its mindless drudgery
