Project by TraumaJacques posted 381 days ago 428 views 1 time favorited 8 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Well I am finally done with the chess/checkers board , 6 coats of poly sanded in between with 600 it turned out well. I decided to make another one for my nephews and I have started on a display cabinet for my better half. My wife is a runner and she has several medals hanging form a hook in the bedroom this case will display them nicely. I will post pictures of my latest project later.

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.
