I've got a Widow that I'd like to get checkered around the grip. Any suggestions as to who's good and reasonably priced?

Did a quick search for you. Try this,

Dave Windauer is as good as it gets for checkering.
Stippling is not the same process; but is quite adequate for most purposes. For me, a high end bow will look best properly checkered not stippled; but that's just me.
Dale Dye and Dave Windauer's bows are tops in my opinion.
I want to have a grip checkered as well.
Dave Windauer
I really want Checkering, not Stippling (although the link by jamesh76 does show some nice Stippling).
Dave Windauer is the best IMHO as good or better than what you see on a high end gun stock.
Someone on here had Dave do their widow. I will try to find that pic for you. It looked awesome!!
Dave Windauer hands down
Do a search for"silvertiped widow". It's bucksaws widow!!
How can one get a hold of Dave Windaur for info and a price?? Thanks
Here you go!

I'm sending a Schafer that I picked up from a fellow trad ganger to Beth and Dave W. to have the grip checkered. His work is top notch :thumbsup:
I have a gunsmithing background and Dave's checkering is the only one I've seen that I like the looks of. Some others I have seen would be a stretch to call it checkering.
