I have contacted a walnut supplier which does not do retail. A Stockmaker has not answered my query.
I thought you blokes might know of a source

I can inlay OK but the wood at home on my scrap pile just will not take checkering. I suppose anything at all that would take checkering would do and it could be stained to match the surrounding area.

Are you inlaying walnut timber to repair a stock?

As a result he always has heaps of old stocks.
Surely one near you would do the same.
Just cut what you need out of an old stock.
Failing that,, I've got a stock you can have off an old shotgun.
It has the pistol grip checkered, so the timber itself can't be too bad.
