The chess board was made for an online chess buddy . I made a online diary of the process so that she could see the progress. The board is made of white oak and dark walnut . The base is made with the same white oak . The drawer faces have dark walnut inlay running across the face .
If you would like to see the process heres the link

That’s a beauty – are you going to make the chess pieces too?

Did you edge glue all of the square pieces first, then router the grooves? or router pieces first, then glue on the pieces to the board?
