Chess Board with TableTop Epoxy Finish

Video Description

In this video, I make a chess board made from Bolivian rosewood (Morado) and bird's eye maple. This board is finished with a table top/bar top epoxy that will protect it from high humidity and keep it from being physically damaged when playing outdoors. This board is going to Thailand where they like to play outdoors. The squares are 2.5" x 2.5" x 1.25" (63.5mm x 63.5mm x 31.75mm) and the walnut frame is 3" wide (76mm). There is a 1/8" (3mm) brass border around the playing field. The frame has the family name and the U.S. Air Force logo inlaid into the frame on each player side. I've had great success using Starbond's CA glues and that's what I used to adhere the brass border to the frame.
