Thanks Mark, as far as the finding the profile portion goes, that shouldnt be a problem. I shaved off the top of the comb so it is flat. I will be adding a small piece of oak via 3 screws after reinforcing inside of hollow composite stock to get a better bite for the screws. After this, I will shape the wood after testing the comb height and maybe even play with the cheek piece as well. Once I get it where I like, I will use a polyeurathane construction adhesive to adhere the wood in place along with the screws, then blend it to the stock using some sort of epoxy resin. The epoxy resin to select for this project is what i'm currently playing around with. Any suggestions out their for optimal bond/durability?
