This has to be the rarest of the rare, a fore-end checkered by none other than Ray Charles. I was de-oiling it, in prep for a refinish, and found this evidence. Cock-eyed checkering pattern: Initials of what may be the checkerer, RC. What'cha think? Ray Charles? May God bless America and those who defend her.

His problem started when he tried to keep the double border spacing which ran into the checkering. Or he just failed to stop short of the border and lost his place.

The semi-centered layout was obviously added to assist the thumb grip. The more enlightening observation is that I realized I had never before understood the potential multiple dimensional property of skip line checkering. I had previously assumed that the style was limited to skipping entire lines in a regular pattern as is often found on the boring examples produced by people such as Weatherby, Anschutz and Sako. I had never appreciated the complexity possible by varying the spacing of the skipped complete rows and interspersing it with rows where sections of the individual rows are skipped in a random pattern. Every pattern is a one of a kind.
