Chessboard

[yorkie]

My first attempt at a chessboard.

Made using Birdseye Maple and Cherry burl. Frame is Cherry.

Finish is Danish oil and will be adding Waterlox in a few days when the oil is dry.

Thanks.

That's Purdy. I'll bet it looks even better in person.

Beautiful, not cool to make me drool over your tools though :biggrin:

Nice work Stephen, it really is impressive

 

[Turned Around]

Very nice. Now you need to turn a set of pieces.

That is a beautiful piece of work. I have wanted to make one for a long time. Really like the choice of woods. Great job.

I play a pretty poor game of chess (worse at checkers!), BUT, I bet I'd be pretty impressive on a board like that!!!

Stephen... U Dun Good! That is an incredible board.
