My "restore" projects both have visible checkering, nothing worn completely smooth, just well worn. Sounds like the single line would be the tool. Is the original work on a VH 60 degree? I notice tools come in 60 and 90 degree.
My "new" project is a fore end for a '54 A-5. I purchased a semi-fit replacement and, after a fair amount of very careful effort, got the fit exactly like I wanted. It now needs checkering to match the original. Thanks for the head's up on getting some finish on the raw wood.
