Walnut Chess Board w Drawers
 |
Now that I have some more time to catch up on projects since I retired 7/1, I finished this chess board I promised my daughter to give her husband as a gift for his birthday.
Overall size is 16" x 16" x 3 1/2".
The board is constructed of wenge and maple and is set in the frame with clearance for wood movement. There are 2 support rails for the board and I drilled slots in those and mounted the top with screws like a table top. This should allow for wood movement without damage.
The pieces are held in a drawer on both ends of the board. Walnut dividers keep the pieces organized, green felt drawer liners in each.
I applied 2 coats of General Finishes Arm-R-Seal gloss with a coat of wax.
