You're right. If I need to use the leather as a damper I will soak it in varnish first...as an expedient to last until the end of this hunting season.
In the end I want to rebed the stock. I once made a banjo with exactly the sort of tension rod riddleofsteel talks about in the neck. After 25 years the banjo neck is still straight and it plays as in tune as a banjo can.
But.
I found a little crack in the stock as well starting from the bolt notch area. So it will either be more repair or get a new semi inletted one and start over. Now just to get through the next 2 months.
