How I made two Regulation Size End Grain Chess Boards

Watch how I made two regulation size end grain chess boards with two different designs. These are regulation size chess boards, meaning that the individual squares are between 2” – 2.5”. In my case, the squares are 2.25” for an overall board size of 18”.

These are end grain chess boards made from walnut and ash. Each chess board has a “frame” around it that can serve as a place to put the chess pieces that are no longer in play. One of the chess boards has a 3.5” walnut frame, and the other one has a 3” frame made from tiger maple. 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.

Both chess boards are 1.5” thick. The one with the walnut frame has an overall width of 25” and the one with the maple frame is 24” x 24”.
