Beautiful piece Grizzman. Wish I had time to sit and play a match with you.

That is beautiful and I see no reason why it wouldnt sell. I like the way the corner feet raise it up like it does. Great job on the woods used and the craftsmanship.

Beautiful Work! I like the maple and agree with Jay, the corner feet add a nice touch!

Nice work Grizzman. I was think thing the same thing as Sheila. Then I thought, why not make some checker pieces to go with it?

Good job Grizz! How did you lay this up?

very nice table Grizz.

Are the squares as thick as the board itself or is this veneer on top of a substrate?

That is beautiful Grizz. Thanks for sharing.

hey PurpLev...yes the squares are solid, no veneer here, and mike are you asking how i make it, if so its fairly easy, you glue up a total of 8 pieces and alternate them then after they are dried you cut them to the width you want and then put them together but alternating it so the different color wood is opposite the other..i never really thought about there being a blog on making a chess board, but maybe it would be fun to do one..did i answer your question mike..

This turned out great,now all you need is some chess pieces with little bears for pawns and a grizz for the king and a variation of other bears for all of the other pieces. You did good buddy.

Nice Grizz.
