It's starting to shape up a little, not sure about the cheek piece idea but I can even everything out if it doesn't work.

Life keeps getting in the way but thought I'd share some progress. The cheek piece didn't work out, not quite enough material because of the large bolt hole drilled up the middle. It's slow progress but getting there. Still seems like it's a little thick around the grip, maybe take a little more off of the top edge near the back and still have to round off the base of the grip some more.

Any thoughts on my copy of the old marlin grip base shape?
