Gunstock Checkering Tools

These gunstock checkering tools have many uses.   Gunstock checkering is a carving technique where an area of diamond shaped textures are cut into the surface of wood. Checkered patterns are both practical as well as decorative.  Gunstock checkering has is used to improve the grip on gunstock and pistol grips.  Another practical use for gunstock checkering tools is the checkering of cane handles and walking stick grips.  Checkering can also be used as a decorative finishing on other wood carvings, furniture, cabinet doors and drawers, wood turned bowls and vases.  Some woodcarvers use the checkering tools for the texturing of hair and feathers on their carvings.
