Impressed checkering is a process where a heated metal die in the shape of the checkering pattern is pressed into the finished stock. The result is a stamping of the checkering pattern. Unfortunately, the points of the individual diamonds are reversed. Instead of the diamond sticking up, there is a diamond-shaped hole pressed into the stock.
There's a way of converting most negative impressed checkering to positive cut checkering with very few tools - it's a project well within the capabilities of most hobbyists.
