Work with Daniel to learn the techniques and processes behind making a beautiful Chess game board using figured Walnut and Curly Maple!
This class will cover making a regulation size chess board from start to finish (not including the pieces). You will pick raw lumber out of retail and work as a class to mill up the pieces necessary to make your own board. This 15-hour class is spread out over 3 days.
Day 1 Select and mill your project wood to the prescribed dimension using the jointer, planer and table saw. Glue up wood pieces and clamp together. After lunch, mill the board flat on one side and cut again to align chessboard pattern, ending the day with a second glue-up.
Day 2 Remove from clamps, remove glue residue and mill to finished thickness using jointer, planer, wide belt sander, and edge sander. Cut and mill border material, cut Domino slots, and glue-up.
Day 3 Remove from clamps and sand square, cut and glue splines into corners, and sand flat and smooth. Finish with a glossy lacquer for a beautiful and durable finish!
