Ever do wood stock or grip stippling?

Tyler... sorry I originally said panel cutter, that is incorrect... air chisel with a single point bit....

I would have guessed with wood stocks and grips the stippling was roll pressed.

I have a very rough file/rasp that I think would work.  I'll give it a try this week on some blank wood.

Smacking it with a hammer?
That's how I heard it was used.

15 years of machining would lead me to use a ball and a pattern with varying depths to get some "randomness" to the apperance but by hand I think a dremel with a ball cutter would be fun.
