WOW, you've been busy. And just a few weeks ago you were asking for pointers on checkering. Now I think you can teach.

I really like the look of those larger checkers and how it doesn't take away from the beauty of the wood.

Thanks Bsea! I dont Know about teaching,But I've def. put a lot of time into learning this craft. Made me mad that I kept screwig up,so I just kept trying out of frustration:rolleyes:

Yea I do too,And the 16 LPI is much easier to do. The smaller ones are 18 LPI and really tough on my old eyes:D Thanks for all the compliments,I know that I've got a long way to go with this,but I'm pretty happy with my progress so far:D

I agree, the large checkering doesnt take away from the wood's beauty. Nicely done.

Thanks SF. I'm working on some Loapord wood grips now, doin them with 18lpi, may be the last that size for a while! A little different design, but what a pain in the A#$:rolleyes: Anyway if I were to give just one bit of advise to anyone wanting to learn how to checker, it would be this......Use 16 LPI tools!!!! You will be glad you did:D

They just make them for what Ive seen!:D:eek:

LOL yea I'd say you're right!!:eek: But where would we be with out our marines?:):)

excellent job Sparkie!!!

wish I had your skill....:(



..L.T.A.

Clyde, how many sets of grips have you accumulated so far!!!:D:D
