I was commissioned to make a chessboard for a customer who had some Oriental rat chesspieces but no board to go with them. The base of each pieces was quite large so each square needed to be 50mm across.
My regular partner in crafting, Chris from Works-in-Wood, put together a stunning board with sycamore panels framed by strips of holly with a waney edge.
I was then left to design and burn! Over 30hrs of work later and here is the finished result... I'm very pleased with it.
