chessset ... creating a new board.

It's been a while since I posted something and even longer since I worked on the chess set. So with new energy I decided to create new board as well. this one will be one solid piece (unlike the previous one, that you can fold up).

materials are whitewood, hardwood and a lot of glue :)

here are some pictures.
the raw materials:




cut and glued:


all dry the next morning:


sanded down nice smooth:


next steps:
- cutting the board to glue the strips on.
- cutting the edges for the board
- glueing it all together
- finishing touches.
