Thread: Stock splicing advice

Do it roughly as you have outlined

Make a jig to keep it all lined up and use dowels
Clean the existing wood with solvent to loosen up the oils in the old stock
Do this for a number of days and allow to gas off for a few more days before gluing
Put releasing agent on the jig
Lots of clear epoxy
You need very sharp clean cuts
Over size insert piece
Use a long bar clamp so the force it in line and some small clamps to hold it to the jig
Blend it all back together slowly

I have plenty of walnut off cuts here if you need some
