Great thread Bryan. You got me thinking about making a board myself. That’s plan A. And after spending too much time and money and possibly ruining the project, yes I will go to plan B - Login to Etsy! 🤠

Skip B and head to C! Commission a board from one of your local woodworkers!

Plan C - even better! 👍🏽

If anyone is interested, I have attached a link to a video I made when making my own walnut and oak chessboard below. Furthermore, the video includes some simple electronics that converts the board into a wireless cabinet lock. When the pieces are in the formation of a scholar's mate checkmate, the board signals to the receiver to power the solenoid which unlock the cabinet. Be sure to leave a comment on the video if you enjoyed the content and feel free to watch the first part too.
