checkering question

Being a child of the 70's, I remember that a lot of guns back then, and up through the 80's, were made with pressed checkering (which I hate). I've noticed fewer guns seem to have this now, and I was wondering....is this because computers and improvements in manufacturing tools have allowed gun makers to do cut checkering at a more reasonable cost than in the 70's and 80's, or did the manufacturers just figure out that consumers hate pressed checkering and decide to go back to the real thing?

  I am recutting some old checkering. I'm just following the original lines to point up the edges. Its coming along very nicely.
  My problem is the very short inside corner lines. I'm having a very hard time cutting those. Any advice?

  You're going to need either a veiner or 90 degree file for the point-up there.
