Well, it isnt exactly “checkering”. It is stippling.
I have seen it before on various types of firearms. It never looks good on any vintage stock, period. But I could see it having a place in some arenas. It is traditionally used when carving is done on a stock. It serves and a buffer between the carved work and other checkering or the smooth wood. I have had some inquiries over the years from people who want stippling done on some gun or another. I tell them that I dont do it and it is a practice reserved for those you are unable to checker.

I have seen similarly stippled stocks on old German guns.
