This is a chess board of Walnut and Maple veneer trimmed with braided copper and brass.

 

The veneer was cut by hand using a veneer saw, first cutting strips of Walnut and strips of Maple lengthways before placing them in rows and cross cutting form dark and light strips which were then sealed to the base.

 

The copper and brass has been individually braided then braided together to give a distinctive and unique four core border to the board.

 

The braiding involved using a bench vice and a hand drill, then placed in a small groove around the chess board giving it a unique finish.

 

The back board came from a disused hardwood writing slope.

 

SIZE:

  • 40cm by 40 cm
