After viewing Vipond33’s “Terrace”, which is very nice indeed, I decided to post this. I made it for my brother for Christmas about ten years ago. I stacked the wood squares to the different heights and wrapped the board with maple. And topped that with a walnut molding. I finished it early Christmas morning. In fact I gave him the finish to put on it because I didn’t have time.
This is the only pic I have of it right now. I’ll have to go visit my brother and get some more pictures.
Ok here’s a pic with the pieces on it. As far as assembly, I just stacked and glued plywood spacers under the blocks and then glued the stacked blocks together.

Gives 3d a new meaning. It must be fun to play this way. Are the individual squares solid pieces but different heights? Great project!

Kinda reminds me of Alice in Wonderland for some reason. I really like it!
