I have made a few chess boards and learned not to mix hardwood and softwood to form the squares. I have done some in softwoods (Pine and Cedar) and some in hardwoods,( Walnut and Poplar) but if you mix them up, keeping them sanded evenly is a bit hard to do. Softwood sands much easier than the hardwood. I ended up with a wavy surface! UGH! Liv and learn (If you are paying attention) <grin> -- "You may have your PHD but I have my GED and my DD 214" |
