Checkering??

[MuleySniper]

My dad and I have been building a new super grade walnut rifle stock for my Ruger #1. The butt stock is near completion and looking very sharp. The fore end is not quite done yet, it still needs a good 3 or 4 hours of detail. I'm debating weather I want checkering on it or not. Its something that I am not confident in trying myself on this particular stock. Anyone do or know someone reputable that can do it? And, any ideas what it might cost?
Thanks

I'll post up a few pics tomorrow of our progress.
