Here are the steps to making a diy chess board: Step #1: Cutting the squares of the chess board With that said, let’s jump straight into making a diy chess board. Some of the tools I used in this project include: The one with the walnut frame has an overall width of 25” and the one with the maple frame is 24” x 24”. The walnut frame is flush with the bottom of the chess board, whereas the maple frame is elevated and “floating” along the side of the chess board. One of the chess boards has a 3.5” walnut frame, and the other one has a 3” frame made from tiger maple. These are end grain chess boards made from walnut and ash.Įach chess board has a “frame” around it that can serve as a place to put the chess pieces that are no longer in play. In my case, the squares are 2.25” for an overall board size of 18”. These are regulation size chess boards, meaning that the individual squares are between 2″-2.5″. In this article I will be showing you how I made two diy chess boards with two different designs.
