I built this last Fall as a Christmas gift for my son. Top is a 1/2 ply with veneered figured maple and mahogany wrapped in purpleheart and canarywood. Sides are marblewood. Pretty much all done on an old table saw and router. Walnut & Basswood pieces turned on a small Rikon lathe.Board is ~20"x20" with ~2 squares.Board is finished in Danish Oil. Chess pieces are finished with a satin poly and weighted with lead.Build album linked.This was my first chess board and first time really turning anything (got a good deal on a used lathe from a coworker).Processing img 09ovs6dyv4a51... via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2ZkoMku
