Dem-Bart Checkering Tool Kit

Works great, the pins are just nails. But if you file a taper to them they hold the head tight and don't let go. The nail idea is pretty slick, lose one and the replacements are at any hardware or craft store! The unfinished woods provides a comfortable grip, some sort of linseed oil or something might be nice but they don't need a finish.

Doesn't come with the more advanced tools though.

This set is great for a person just starting to learn about checkering and the included booklet provides great tips for getting started- they don't include a v groove chisel for cleanup of ends/details though- hence the 4 stars.

I loved it my 1st attempt came out perfect already done a winchester and a Browning highpower looks great

I figured for the price of this starter kit that the handles would at least be finished. But instead you get a real cheaply made checkering starter set, but surprisingly enough it included instructions.If your looking for a starter set or something that your going to use on a regular basis then I wouldn't purchase this item. This set shouldn't cost more than $15 based upon its overall quality.

Great beginner set. Layout is easy and the tools are quality made in Washington state by an American for Americans.

Everything went smoothly and quickly. Very pleased. Arrived when it was supposed to and in excellent condition. It was all good.

Though it contains tools you will need. You still need to get veining cutters to complete the set. Both 60 and 90 degree veiners.
