John, if you get some body filler, fill and shape sections that you don't like, on the existing stock, then you could use it as a pattern, to cut a nice piece of walnut for a full length stock.
The stock I used, as a pattern for the Vergueiro stock, was from an old Parker Hale and I just filled, filed and shaped till it looked and felt right.
Is the old stock damaged if used as a pattern?
The reason. Wouldn't it be better to get a real M-S full length stock to use a pattern?
