I love how $100/hour has become the going rate of choice for anyone who does anything.
You can be a guy with zero overhead, zero capital investment, and get paid in cash - $100/hour

Dang Greg, where did that come from, and what does it matter to you? Not to mention it's worthlessly untrue.

Not that it matters to me either, but, if it is a ficticious cost per hour....it have scared someone away from getting a gun worked on??
just say'n
Don.
Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?

I have no idea what the shop rates are in different parts of the country. That said, my local gunsmith in very bold print in his shop has a sign that says "Shop Rate $70 per hour". YMMV of course.

OK, fellas,rocks are being thrown Let see what is what. Art's charges $80.00 per hour flat rate for general gun work. Anyone who does stock work have a flat rate for checkering in 2015? And for the above gun, how much time is the estimate to "fix the checkering?" Stock and forend. Thanks Mike p.s. I might have a gun needing checkering

The worst of it is that the pattern outline is a little sparse. After that, none of it is cut very deeply - it just doesn't look finished. If it were mine, I would just go over the double-edged border and finish the diamonds. You could probably do it yourself, save some money, and begin acquiring a new skill set.
