Chess board made for my neighbor's grandson. The board surface is walnut and maple squares with mahogany, maple, purple heart and lacewood borders. The base and drawer underneath is cherry, baltic birch and bubinga knob pull. The board was made in the conventional way....in the shop. The chessmen are walnut and maple and were cut with a CNC machine.
That is to say, each piece is drawn in a computer program and the computer controlled router in my garage cuts all the pieces. A little glue, a little polyurethane and a felt sticker on each bottom and wah-la....32 chess pieces. Piece of cake!
