This is my real “first project” that I completed by my self that i spent any amount of money on. The chessboard is made of maple and walnut but there is a mahogany inlay around the blocks and on the miters to keep them from fading into the border. I got the basic design from “Steve Marin’s Chess Board” and tried to tweak it a little bit. I thought i would post it and see what you guys though.

Nicely done Justin, the inlay is a nice touch. I did one a while back, but wasnt all that happy with it. I would have changed almost everything on mine.
