when I was a kid I met a friend of my dad who made custom gunstocks and would basketweave instead of checkering if wanted. He showed me how to do it and I had the idea and pattern right but 50 years later I can not remember how he showed me. I googled and learned nothing there so maybe some one here knows how. His basket weave looked better than remingtons BDL 760 pump rifles with basket weave. It is not for every gun but I have a few I could use it on. My meds don't allow me to checker anymore and maybe I won't be able to do this but I won't know till I try.
