JohnnyPiston just duplicated your stippling, not. Never did anything like this before. Looking closely at yours, I have to make a smaller point, and tighten them. I ground down a lag bolt for my point.Also your stippling has a solid stain or a black stain with several coats of lacquer to soften it. I’m also wondering about the wood, I used maple and yours is walnut which I think is a little more porous.
Now the v-groves,I found a Roybi power chisel, again never used before, cut nice clean uniform lines. I cut all those lines fast,(Like Jackie Gleason doing zip zip commercial). It would definitely work for going around the perimeter of any checkering or stippling. If I make any more progress I’ll post it.
Thanks for posting great pics. You really appreciate the details in your stocks all the more once you try to duplicate parts of them. Here’s some shots of the beginning.
I already have enough jobs for 3 lifetimes, but I’ll squeeze in a stock. You might have woke something up there. Crow

JohnnyPiston spent another 30 min. stippling. Spent most time grinding 
different points. Getting closer. Not worried about staying in lines
There has to be a tool to eliminate the hammering. Crow

Crowski I think you're nailing it. That looks really nice! Reverse engineering stippling

You can buy a tool.
I bought a set for making sling shots years ago.

Thanks Cornpore. I checked them out, but too uniformed. I’ll just grind a few more bits. When I find time, and and try them. Not too far off. Crow
