Could anyone point me to someone that does good work and is reasonably priced? Not looking for bargain basement work/prices, but I don't need to spend $1k on checkering either.
Kathy Forster does beautiful work. She is in Idaho. [email protected] I'll see if I can find photos that I can email to you.
Sherry Abraham has done several jobs for me, reasonable price and turnaround. Contact Sherry at : [email protected], phone (503) 824-4010.

Ahlman's has a lady that did nice work for me. I wasn't looking to spend a lot and I was very happy with what she did for the money.

Her name is Carol and I've met her and chatted with her personally. A fine lady, a superb checkering artist and the price isn't at all unreasonable. Most patters under $300

Here's a sample of Carol's work. Skip line was my request but she does it all.

Yes, indeed. However, according to a thread around here a few months back, she's retired.

Tim Smith Lyons at classic checkering is my go to guy. He is great guy and easy to work with, and reasonable and fast

Worked with Sherry Abraham and her husband in the Kimber of Oregon woodshop (Colton) many years ago. Haven't checked (hee hee) in with her in several years though... She's done work for several folks around here.

Saw this above, contact Sherry at : checkeringaol.com, phone (503) 824-4010.
