How hard would it be to convert an existing skip-line checkering pattern on a stock to a regular, non skip-line pattern? Would it make more sense to sand it down and start from scratch? Thanks, Wayne E. | ||

Do not sand it down! First question is why change it? Did you screw it up? I have found that if a piece of wood chips out, I can mix some bedding compound, stained the right color, and smear a gob on the bad spot. Let it harden and checker it. You will not see it. | |||

bfrshooter, I would like to change it because I don't really care for the appearance of a skip line checkering pattern. I have an old Remington stock that I'm trying to rejuvenate. It is a fairly nice piece of wood, but has the skip-line checkering, white line spacers, etc. I'm going to replace the white line grip cap and recoil pad, and would like to change the skip-line checkering pattern to a pattern that is more pleasing to my eye. Then refinish the stock. Trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. That's the goal, anyways. Thanks, Wayne E. | |||

If the pattern is normal spacing it whould be easy to finish the pattern. It is cut checkering and not the old pressed checkering. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||
