Be forwarned! I work slowly, as that the weekends are when I really only get time to be in the shop, but here is a WIP for a chessboard I am making. I love to make chessboards. I have made about 5 of them, but this one is for me. I saw the plan in a back issue of woodsmith. I have lots of pictures in my gallery. This project has a few things I have never attempted, namely veneering, and inlay. I hope it turns out ok. Here is some shots, see my gallery for more pictures. So far, the biggest challenge was making the squares.. umm.. square, if you know what I mean.
Here is the board top glued up.
Closeup of the squares on the top.
Sample of the frame around the board.
