Floating Chess Boards
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
Have been looking at many different chess board types and designs and almost decided on one with a drawer. Then decided to make one with a lift off top for storage. Under the top the pieces could be stored ( ordered mine through Amazon – Stonkraft chess pieces). After i cut the storage area cross laps for the sections it was by accident the middle section worked out to also hold checkers . Why not !The over all lower frame is 2 x 2 walnut pieces with dados for the under pnel and so the top board can sit in for the floating look.Main playing board is with 2 squares and is close to 16 x 16 area 3/4 thick which also has plywood 3/4 bottom trimmed back to support the bottom from lower box frame.I used a larger paneling bit for the detail along the edgeThe edging around the board wasnt needed but added for little extra detail.I think it came together ok , Now my daughter gets to pick the one she wanted for her birthday
