No, I don't checker. If I offered just plain jane, run of the mill walnut or cocobolo then I might. But checkering the exotic woods that I use would take away from the beauty of the grain.
Grip making isn't that difficult. If you've got a band saw or a scroll saw, some sand paper, and few files, you've got enough equipment to make a set. Stock making on the other hand will be a whole seperate category. I wouldn't have enough patience to make a rifle stock.
