Hand cut checkering

Can someone out there point me in the direction on how to learn this skill and what kinds of tool to use . I have good woodworking skills but this is one skill i would love to learn.

Brownells sells the tools for and books about checkering. I suggest you pay the $5 and get a print catalog, it is worth it just for the reading.

I have assumed you want to hand checker wood. That is a whole different deal than checkering metal. Good Luck.
