Project Information
I was commissioned 2 chess/checker boards. I used the 'standard' size of 2" squares but I made them my way. Picture 5 shows a few left over pieces of the 4" planks I made by laminating a 2" x 3/8" walnut to the same size oak resawn boards. I made them 19" long allowing for cuts on the table saw and one extra on eack plank.
As usual I neglected to take any process pictures but the process was pretty simple. I cut the 4" wide planks in 2" pieces and then glued them to a 20" piece of BB plywood. It ended up 32 pieces on each board then I trimmed all 4 sides making sure to maintain square.
Then I cut 1/8" strips of oak and glued those to the 4 outside edges and then made my walnut frame work. Pictures 3 shows the oak and walnut trim and and picture 4 is a close up of the luck of the Irish ( a fairly tight miter) I forgot to mention that both boards measure about 18" square
Both of these will go to the same client that ordered the last batch of saw dust.
Thanks for looking and any suggestions about an easier way to do this will be accepted with many thanks.
