Checkering of gunstocks is a process used to create a textured surface on the grip area of a gunstock. This texture provides improved grip and control when shooting, as well as an aesthetically pleasing look. Checkering is typically performed by hand using a set of special tools such as files, chisels, and punches. The pattern created by checkering is usually composed of small diamond-shaped cuts that are cut into the wood at an angle, creating sharp edges that provide traction for the shooter's hands. Depending on the type of gunstock being worked on, different levels of checkering may be applied ranging from light to deep patterns. Deep checkering can also be used to enhance the appearance of certain types of wood grain or other decorative features in the stock.
