Can micarta grip panels be checkered?

CS8161
I have a pair of black micarata grips on a ruger bisley and a ruger vaquero, is it possible to checker micarta grips to make them less slick?

    Checkered Micarta grips do exist, though I can't comment on how hard it is to add checkering to already made ones:

    If you just want to add some texture to prevent slippage, stippling them might be easier than checkering.

    Alternatively, you could just add a few bits of strategically placed grip tape.

    It can certainly be done on denim micarta, have it on knife slabs. Not sure about the slick stuff.

    i tried it on linen micarta and needed two cutters per 1911 grip panel. about 6 bucks apiece.
