Chess Board | 2017
The idea to build a chess board originated from a desire to work with two species of wood and attempt some inlay work. I saw a video of someone making inlay strips and thought, “I have to try that out!” It was another project full of lessons to remember for future endeavors, but nonetheless, I was pleased with the final result. One day, I would like to revisit the Chess Board idea now knowing how to improve upon the craftsmanship of the build.
