    'cut' checkering is just that, wood removed by a cutting tool, it leaves nice sharp edgeges and can be done very precisly. 'Pressed' checkeding is pressed in with a reverse mould and leaves rounded edges and a 'slipery' feal.

    MW is right, but pressed checkering can be turned into cut checkering, and if your careful no one will even know the difference.
