And maybe 100 years from now, some collector will point to a pattern on your DHE stock and brag, "This here checkering was cut with a full power MMC carbide wheel, not a machine"!

Count me out...

PS: It's YOUR stock. Do what you want.

Kensal,
I wonder if you have ever actually put a checkering tool in your hand.

PS: Could you today or 100 years from now even tell the difference of a mechanical vs. hand checkered stock?

Mr. Lein:
Since you've asked nicely, Yes. I've checkered stocks for over 50 years. With hand tools. And yes, I can tell the difference. Also in people...

I'm backing out here. Harsh attitudes don't have a place on this site in my opinion. I sometimes disagree with those on the site. Sometimes I'm proven wrong, sometimes I am right. It makes no difference. As long as one shows proper respect and disregrees in a manner that moves the discussion forward, it is all good.

No more posts for me on this thread.
