checkering

[strutnrut]

Any of you guys know where a man could get some checkering tool. I have been kicking around an Ideal but just don't know anything about what is what and which is which. Thanks for any help

[Shadetree Callers]

Woodcraft sells them. Check with shadowturkeycaller if you have any questions. He checkers guns.

what kinda checkering ya talking about---standard checkering like on boxes or checkering like on gunstocks

[West Augusta]

Brownell's, Midway and Woodcraft all sell gun checkering tools.

Jeff I was thinking about trying my hand on a box or two. Of course as with everything else you have to learn the ends and outs. I was thinking of size I think maybe 16 or 18 would be about right.

if its checkering like on say a cost style caller---try Swiss made chisels....don't skimp on cheap chisels---they is a huge difference in what ya get from them.
You will need 3/4" at the least to replicate cost style checkering.....you can use a knife and a steel edge to score the length of the run on the outline
