Quick'n'cheap chess-board
Another fruitful weekend. Finally managed to eyeball 's lathe (and he really is an axe-wielding mongrel... gotta be to use that ginormous beastie :eek: ) and also gave the last rub of wax to a pressie for the ol' man.
Top is simply radiata & jarrah veneers on a 6mm MDF sub-structure, the rest is plain old radiata given a hand-mixed stain. (Jarrah & Rosewood... don't ask.
) Finished with Danish, EEE and wax for a matt look, as it'll be handled a fair bit. All components straight from the scrap-bin, apart from the knobs; by my estimate it cost me all of $10-, including power usage. 
(Edit: also just noticed that this is post is the 1/4 mark to my first 5,000 posts. Woohoo! Avinagoodweekend!
)

No, I think I'll take a rain-check on the chess-men.
Our wood-turning club had an exercise wherein all members turned a few pieces so the club had a set for displays... and I quickly discovered that copy-turning is not my forte.
