Now this is some checkering...

I think this is Bill Sovern's $85 checkering job

Actually it's from a Wiebe rifle (not mine) offered for sale over on Guns America.

I don't really care for fluer de lis checkering, but I can appreciate the work that went into this pattern.

85 bucks in your and my dreams. That aside, beautiful work! Is this Bill's work?

It's getting close to "too much", but I like it and if anyone here did it my congratulations to them.
It's spectacular.

Very good workmanship, but too "busy" for me.

Exquisite work but too feminine for my taste.

I love it. Looks like something I could screw up once or twice. Thanks for sharing Forrest!

Fantastic work. But like others to much for my taste. Bill's is more for me.

I am more of a point guy myself, but I must nice say I like it. I the second stock in the rotation is a fleur-de-lis and I may incorporate some of this pattern into the one I do.

And actually, the first stock up in the rotation is up to me, and I may do a f-d-l pattern on it just for the hell of it.

Thank you for posting these pics! I never would have seen them other wise

85 Dollars! Holy Cow. Soverns did that for me and my cost was 45!
