See here examples of original checkering before and after recutting. Right after cutting is light, after staining and oiling, the checkering matches the stock more.


In this particular case on the wrist, the staining did not darken the checkering as much as I would usually like due to oil in the wood preventing penetration of the stain. But it looks acceptable.
