I hope you have better luck than I did on the tools. It would be fun to try doing it....

While those are called checkering tools, they sure look like chisels to me. They do list some carbide checkering tools. A bit pricey if only doing one stock but worth it if you were to consider a career in checkering. I used DemBart tools,

Rechecking that stock, it does not look like the diamonds were ever pointed. Or whoever sanded the point off did a very uniform job.  But, your layout is already done for you so a single line cutter will clean up what is there. Do the first pass 1/2 deep in one direction. Then cut the other set in. Then go back and finish the first cut to final depth.

It is a bit of work but the results are worth it.

I'm not going to do it. I don't have any desire to do anything anymore.

We’re still praying for you Hawg and thinking of you and hoping.  You feeling lowdown and maybe anhedonic just now is perfectly normal.  Don’t fight it.  Claim the promises.

Widower to widower, I get that. But we (deceased and I) have an 11&13 year old together that force me to go on and become a better version of myself.

Sorry for your loss. You're lucky to have them. I don't have anybody close by. A niece in Georgia and a stepson in Indiana that call me once or twice a week. The stepson has made a couple of trips down from north Indiana.
