    Result as expected
    Cracked right on that big curl of grain.

    Made me think about how nice the workmanship was on the stocks when being made for WWII. How Knots and Sapwood area's were cleaned out and patched over to save a stock so it rolled down the line. The Dutchman patch that once stained and aged was never noticed until our modern day hands stripped the finish. So many similar stocks that went thru field and depot repair where there just wasn't time for a repair like Frank just did that ended up with the ugly A$$ threaded brass pins. Really a shame.
