Checkering grips
I would like to learn how to checker 1911 grips. Is there anyone out there that can give me a few pointers? I can find stuff on rifle cherkering but not on grips. Thanks for any help anyone can give, Mirando

Hi Mark,
I have been doing my own checkering for almost a year now. It is easier than one would think, and is very rewarding. I had no experience until I read the post by Mr. Science. His thread taught me the basics, and I refined the process by trial and error. If you have some patience and some determination, anyone can do it. These are a few of my latest pieces. Of course full, double diamond is great, but it takes away a lot of the beauty of the wood. I make all my own grips too. Between making grips and checkering, I prefer checkering them! Once I start checkering a set- it is almost like an addiction, I spend all my spare time working on them. I haven't tried rifle stocks yet- only pistol grips.   It's really not that difficult, and I find it very relaxing. I would be happy to help you get started!

F16DCC, your grips just keep getting better and better.

Thank you for the kind words Seraph & Randall! It is something I believe anyone can do. I never thought I could do it until I just jumped in head first.
Like anything else it takes some practice- then one day you just figure it all out, you learn a few techniques and tricks. I sure enjoy it! Mr Science made the tutorial that says a lot of how to do it. I give credit to him!

I would love to see the original thread as well. IMO all grips need some amount of checkering especially those going on stock guns that dont have front strap texturing of some sort. . I see grips all the time that I would buy if only they were at least half checkered "combat checkered" like in the first pic. I actually like how the diamonds effect the wood grain often times.
