DELUXE Chess Board Build

*Please Click "Show More" Below To See Full Description*
This chess board is made from Peruvian Walnut (dark squares), Birdseye Maple (light squares), African Mahogany (frame) with Curly Maple and black paperstone inlay. The playing field is elevated above the surface of the frame. Super fancy!

This chessboard is only part of a bigger project. The board fits into a table made from Curly Cherry and is removable. It also includes hidden drawers with room for chessmen, a clock and notebook.

This fun project used almost every tool in my small basement woodshop!
