Chess board
Finished this one today. A chess board for my brothers birthday.
The top is made from walnut and beech veneer the rest from Aust oak.
Turned out ok I think.

Very nice work, i'm sure he'll love it
I'm interested to know how you allowed for movement in the frame? Floating panel maybe..?

Looks great . Lucky brother
As Whit 68 used veneer I guess he would not be worried by seasonal movement

Thanks for the kind words everyone, I'm delivering it on Saturday so hoping for a good response.
As for wood movement I glued the veneer to an mdf substrate so don't think I need to be too worried about timber movement.
Regards
Anthony
