First homemade Chess board

Finished product. Very simple, no border.

Started by cutting squares of walnut and oak. The oak i didnt take a pic of cause it was a banister. So i recycled it and made something new.

I glued 4 strips together, plained them. Then cut them into peices and glued them in an alternating pattern.

Final glue and clamp to put both halfs together.

Sanded and finally putting a wax finish to help the natural beauty of the wood shine through.
