Wow, this is awesome!. I really want a wooden boeard yk, it looks really asthetic. Well done!!
Very impressive work. Congratulations on the product!
I'm 23 - after playing off and on for 15 years on my trusty roll up board, my friend and I finally made a chess board out of wood and I cannot believe how beautiful it turned out! I don't have anyone in person to share it with right now, so I thought I'd post a few photos here!!
For those interested:
Light squares - Maple
Dark squares - Black walnut
Border - Purpleheart ($$)
Edge pins - brass
Chamfer - simple pass with 45 degrees router
Finish - 3 coats of tung oil and 3 coats of Howard citrus-shield paste wax
Thanks for looking! I need to figure out pieces now!
