A small chess table in ribbon stripe African mahogany, Big Leaf Oregon maple, claro walnut, purpleheart. I cut and glued up the chess board, then routed a recess in the tabletop and let the chessboard into it. Finished in shellac with Waterlox topcoat. | |||||||

That is a really exceptional chess table. I thought it was veneered at first, but I like the solid stock with inlay even better. I’ll bet that thing catches the light really well with all the chatoyant wood figure.

Beautiful board… may I ask how tall your table is? Did you add drawers? I have a large board done, but looking at this makes me want to finish it into a table.
Great job!!!

TheeWoodShed; the top is 21” square and it is 25” tall. I think it’s too small, personally, but I built it for a friend and he requested these dimensions. No drawer, so the table is quite light, visually and in weight, with the open aprons.
Thanks for everybody’s kind comments and encouragement.
