Going to refinish a walnut stock that has checkering. What is the prevailing wisdom as to how I might approach the checkering? Should I use stripper on it like I might with the rest of the stock? Or should I mask it off and stay away from the checkering when using stripper then do I also avoid putting any finish on it?? Stripper recommendations? I'm a decent enough wood worker and have refinished stocks before but none had any checkering. I like the hand rubbed finishes.
Kind regards,
Bill
