Great looking project!

Nice looking board. Can you describe the construction technique for the top?

I first glued alternating Bubinga and oak1 ½ X ¾ stocks let it dry then cut across and flipped every other strip to create the checker pattern. Then re glued them added a Purple Heart band around and set it in an Oak cabinet. The accents are all Bubinga. My only regret is that the drawer is not big enough for both checkers and chess pieces. I am building another one out of roasted Oak and white Oak with a bigger drawer.
