This DIY walnut and maple chess board is super easy to make! PLANS AVAILABLE! Check out this tutorial video on how I made my own wooden chess board out of walnut and maple.

This wood chess board was pretty easy to make and it was a lot of fun! Unfortunately, the client wanted this hideous edge detail on the chess board…so that kind of ruined the design…

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this project and as always, let me know if you try this one out! Tag me @SpencleyDesignCo on Instagram so I can check it out!
