Is this repairable?

[Mastiff 7]

Hi all,

 

Could anybody tell me if this is repairable please?

I didn't do it I'm pleased to say, it's on a SG that I've seen for sale.

 

If it can be repaired properly any estimates?

 

Cheers,

 

Mick.

Hi Mick, if you go down the DIY route and as long as no fibres have been broken, % of the marks will come out by holding the butt over a steaming kettle. The wood fibres will swell and push out the marks. That is presuming it's not a heavy varnished finish. If the wood fibres are damaged, you can still steam the stock, and then either sand the effected area (matching the colour with a mix of wood stains to suit) or just sand the whole stock and re-finish.

 

There is a chap on here who is a dab hand at stock repairs, I'm sure he will be along shortly.

Thanks John,

 

Wood and I don't get along very well so I wouldn't dream of trying to sort that out but cheers for the kettle tip, wouldn't have thought of that in a million years!

other things that with on the steaming front is if you get a damp cloth and press it against the stock with an iron or a heated spoon, that creates the steam more locally....

Second that - our stock man favours a file rather than a spoon as it is flatter and concentrates the heat to one place through the damp cloth.
