carving checkering bench
« on: March 06, 2009, 06:14:16 PM »
Do any of you use a carving/checkering bench that is similiar to a draw horse bench?  If you've got photos or links to such a beast, I'd appreciate seeing them.

What is a "draw horse bench"?

I use a checkering cradle but it's only big enough for a modern bolt action stock. It allows the stock to swivel as the lines go around the forarm or wrist.
