...it turned out rather nicely-I'll say!

That's a beautiful chess board, one I'm sure you'll enjoy many fine matches on!

Beautiful clean, smooth lines. I like that raised board concept.

I really like this chess board. Do you have any photos of the building process you can share? This is something I would like to build sometime.

I'm looking to do something similar, but was worried about how wood expansion of the chess board would affect the joints on the edge banding?

Mike- not sure what the edge banding is, but the board itself is "floating" in the simple picture frame. This accounts for wood movement. I used z clips to attach.
