How to install ebony forend tip on a rifle stock

An ebony forend tip can add a real touch of class to any rifle stock. Larry Potterfield, CEO and Founder of MidwayUSA, demonstrates how to glue an ebony block onto a rifle stock so that it can be later shaped and inletted. He starts by cutting the forend of the stock to the desired length and uses a belt sander to true it up. He then finds the center of the forend, center punches it, and drills the hole. Larry then places the ebony block into a vise, levels it, and drills an additional hole. The block is attached to the stock with liberal quantities of wood glue and a wooden dowel rod. Once the block is placed on the stock, the entire work is secured in a pipe clamp. All that's left is to shape and inlet the tip.

That looks fine to me, a thin piece of ivory, or light wood inbetween the two would have looked better though!

how is it not? there's barely any stress at that area, no need to do more than one dowel for the joint.
