Nice chess board. Never use it. Just keep the memory of your Dad. That’s priceless.

Indeed it is . Thank you karson. I keep his last wallet, cards, ss card, pics and an audio cd with his last words in it. I dont think i’ll ever use it as a game piece.

what a lovely way to store the treasures!
Very nice indeed.

I might just have to make something special to hold the little things that I saved that were my husbands.

I find the wood to be somewhat close in color, thus taking away the checker board look that one is use to seeing, yet beautiful. Nice job.

It is what it is Oscorner. I took the mahogany from cut offs of the fancy doors of a very expensive house that i was installing solid surface countertops at. I put them together and let them do there thing. also… my photographing skills have much to be desired. the contrast has much more difference than the photo shows. i will make a new photo to show soon.
