How to Make a Modern Chess Board from Recycled Maple and Walnut

A while back I had built a mid-century modern chess set to play with my son. This time around I completed the chessboard. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that the best way to make the board was to simply create a walnut and maple cutting board. Buy gluing up strips of maple and walnut I was able to cut strips off of that and reassemble them into the classic chessboard pattern. After some edge cleanup, I sanded all the way to 320 grid and then applied 2 coats of Tung oil!

I was unaware of this while I set up the shots but was pointed out to me in a Reddit post.   / i_made_mid_century_modern_chess_pieces_out_of   I think I had the board upside down :) This was really fun and actually a very simple project to make. One thing I wish that I had added is a border around the board. I knew that I wanted a bevel but my table saw can’t cut deep enough to get the results that I want.
