Cutting a Quick Checkering Pattern by Hand

[@lesliecrowther7004]

Seeing as how you are checkering ,i guess your doing a lot of gun stocks 🤔 ? Lovely bit of work , my father-in-law ( now passed god bless him ) worked for Purdy in London he was a master gunsmith. I had several visits to the workshop the guy's doing the stocks and stock plates we're just brilliant, and all of them had glasses like milk bottle bottoms having spent many many years checking and engraving stock plates. He was presented with a hip flask, i made him a display stand from rosewood, lot's of checkering of course 😉 but, i did it all with a very fine triangle file. Tool me a while but the end result was well worth it. Cheers Les. ( uk ) Hopefully you will show some more of your work.

@lesliecrowther7004 I do a few stocks now and then, but I dare say, I'm not as good as those guys from Purdy or H&H. They were in a league of their own.
