RM,
Mine was to initially gain a "provisional licence" to be able to operate ASAP, with exams etc to come within 6 months. Not having my book stamped, a local "sourcing" of a suitable stamp and and accompanied by a management signature, all was good
Don't get me started on the medical...
However, to answer your question, as stated, CP, CFI, Checkie, someone with any authority would prob do, just make it look official

I am in the process of doing a logbook re-write. Mine got water damaged. 
I spoke with casa about the issue, and they are happy to have the Local ATO sign off on it, as I have always ran an electronic copy that he can refer to. I am lucky that my water damage is soft enough that the pertinant info is still readable with some thought. So i have a good basis to write a new book and get it it fully cert'd.
To write a new logbook based on the fact that you were haphazard with it from the get go..........................good luck with that!!!
As an employer, i would look at your early entries and seek to find a maturing pilot in the later entries..............my gliding logbook certainly shows this with my grading of early flights with happy/sad face icons.\
Take a look and a think, and ask yourself is it worth the hundreds of hours to re-write, or are you better off leaving it as is and ensuring future entries are more professional and show a developing pilot?
A little hint here....if you have problems getting your entries correct first time, then photocopy the pages, play with the photocopy's till you have it right then copy it into your book.
Cheers

Lucky triple 8..
A line not completely filled in, ie forgot to note.. from...to, (v busy)
BUTdate, a/c, time, pic, VFR all listed.
Thus the obligation to have EVERYTHING written in, and not... an offence.
Moral of the story.. No log book,..."lost, stolen".
As the lawyer said: No paper work, no evidence, no conviction.
I'll remember that next time.
ps.. and CASA persons know that all to well. Its called " unfortunately that material was accidental put thru the shredder"

i dont white out my log book errors, but a neat line through and signed and dated alteration.....its only happened once or twice.
i recommend a digital copy, even if its only an Iphone shot.
