Do you do hand carving as well? I always liked that look on old shot guns and I find it realy helps get a good grip on the gun.
Pete do you mean checkering? yes I checker. But now that I am closing in on 60, my eyes just can't do anything finer than say 18 lines per inch. I hate it, but I do it.

I wanted to do a gun in mesquite wood once, but a piece the size i needed was $6,000.00! Not in my lifetime!
