Good morning. I have been lurking on this forum for the past couple of years and have found so much useful information. Currently, I am in need of gun checkering services and have done as much research on the internet as I can, but would love to hear from someone with first hand experience. Do any of you have any recommendations. Thanks in advance.

Canyon Creek Custom Gunstocks. LeRoy Barry does the stocking and his wife Connie the checkering. She is truly an amazing artist.

You might try the website for the American Custom Gunmakers Guild (ACGG) if you are in the US. They list several professional checkering specialists among their members; you may even find one in your area.
For very good checkering of hand gun stocks I can personally recommend Herrett's Stocks in Twin Falls, Idaho.

You could always learn to do it yourself. That's what I did. It isn't terribly difficult and after a little practice you can turn out some pretty good checkered stocks! I have done a number of my own over the years and it really is rewarding to use a gun you stocked and checkered yourself!

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.
On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.
its going to be a good year!
