Lou,

That is a beautiful table. I especially like the drawers and your dovetails are gorgeous. How did you cut them?

Thanks. I used my PC4212 to cut the dovetails.

Very nice, Lou. Is the frame Mahogany? And what species did you use for the contrasting band inlay?

And where are the players? ;)

The frame is African Mahogany, Maple for the white squares and Bloodwood for the inlay.

Very nice looking, makes me want to take up chess again...:)

I like the inlay, hope to do some of that in the near future and hope mine goes as well as yours did.

Hard to tell how much time. I have been working on it for about two months, mainly on the weekends.

I got the basic dimensions from a few chess tables I saw on the internet, but the rest of the design was mine.
