I have a friend who is a very competent stock maker...we were rooting through my safe the other day looking for something. One of the rifles I handed to him had my finest example of home checkering, I saw him looking at it and said, I did that (fishing for a complement actually). He said, Hmm. Not willing to give up I said, no, really what do you think of my checkering. He unloaded on me, that...is not checkering, I would generously describe that as texturing. Azshole.
