Stock repair

I need two perfect stock repairs: one on a percussion Sharps with split forend and the second on a Remington 25 pump forend.
Both had previous repairs with epoxy.
Any perfectionist stock repairmen out there?

  Any tips about how to make a hair line crack so that it cannot be seen? Started refinishing a stock and found a crack on the toe that had been repaired. Wet sanding with finish does not hide it. Thanks, Ken

  If I understand the question correctly, the stocks have been split 1. partway through or 2. into two pieces; and the separation was repaired with epoxy, but the split was not closed tightly, so the epoxy is clearly visible. And by repair, you want someone to re=separate the split, clean out the old epoxy and then re-glue/epoxy the split back together so as not to show the split?

  Ray: Correct. The Sharps got some powder into the forend recess and partially split the forend when fired. An epoxy repair didn't work. It's been in two pieces for some years.
  The Remington slide forend has a visible repair but the crack is growing because the action is stiff.

  I'd be happy to take a look at the sharps fore-end and determine if I can put it back together properly. I can send photos of woodwork that I have done and if you're interested, I'd take no action on it until I'd cleared it with you.
