Thanks for the files

Thanks to Ricky and Jerry for the French Diamond file, I made it into a frame of .25" black cherry 9" x 11.25" Speed 30 power 100 DPI 400 35W Epilog Thanks to Darren and Angus for the neat chessboard One is black cherry .25" x 11.25" sq same settings as above. The section one is sized for a 22" board and the square shown is 2.5" Sq. It is basswood and I jumped the speed to 50. For anyone that runs this file, be advised that the decorative panel has hairlines.

Ditto....LOL. The first time I ran the file on a piece of marble I cooked all the hairlines and ended up with just funky looking squares. I'll post a couple of pictures shortly.

When were these files posted??? I'd sure like to get a copy to download. My father-in-law would love to own a checker board that looked like this one.

And I really liked the frame design.

Frame atchd. You might want to ungroup it and tweak the bottom and right rails to correct slight gaps.

Look on page 3 "Ornate Chessboard" posted by Darren Null. Scroll down to where Angus posted a V12 file Atchd pic is the same panel as above before I engraved the sloop onto it.
