Plan C - even better! 👍🏽
Building a Chess Board

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.

I LOVE everything about this. Amazing idea, elegant implementation. Kudos.
Skip B and head to C! Commission a board from one of your local woodworkers!
