This is where it all happens now...a humble little campaign desk with a humble shop clamp and billet clamp...here's me applying the grip checkering to a large serrated Solomon Islands style club...The only important thing to remember is to steady your piece with a clamp and draw out your checker lines in advance to make sure they all meet up from side to side of the club. Use a small palm parting tool. The second finger of your right hand will develop a permanent dent after a while, but hand work looks ten times better than power tool work when applying fine detail like this.
