Checkering Claro Walnut...

Preacher

Gold $$ Contributor
After JRS asked about checkering his African Obeche stock, I dug out my old highly figured Claro Walnut stock knowing it was on the soft side and started cutting grooves..
Worked out just fine but left the cuts a little fuzzy.
A folded V shaped piece of 600 grit worked the cuts over enough to smooth it all out...
Now for the sides !!!!!

WOW and they say Job had patience. My world has been a mess but may settle some soon, I haven't forgot the purple heart.

Absolutely beautiful work!
Whatever happened to JRS? Haven't seen him around in a while.
