Couple options.

Bevel the top on both sides at the top to matching angles.

Cut forend back and reshape

Cut forend back, and add an ebony forend tip.

I wold be most likely to do the second or third option.

I like Rhys's idea of cutting it off and adding a ebony forend tip. You also have enough wood to reshape the whole stock if you would like.

Yep like the others said. If you don't want ebony then a contrasting wood would work as well.

The Stock Doctor. He is in the Guild and the best there is.....

Do you have the broken off part? If so glue it back with a QUALITY professional wood glue.

Then when dry drill two small holes and use two lengths of THICK stiff nylon fishing line as a stiffener.

Say 40 thou stuff.

I do not have the broken piece.

Decided to go with the angle cut. Now need I need to do the finish work. Thanks for all your input!

Looks good.

Can't believe I missed that being a tip to begin with.

Thanks.

Cut back and reshape, simple.
