This is a handmade chessboard that I made out of maple and cherry. When I originally made this board, I wasn't sure how it would turn out. Both maple and cherry are light woods without a lot of contrast, however; when I put these woods together they make a beautiful chessboard! The grain pattern to these lumbers are similar but there is enough contrast in the color that this is really a lovely board.
Each board is solid lumber and has been sanded and given a couple of coats of polyurethane to cheapest bring out the natural beauty of the wood. The combination of the rustic cherry and the hard maple make an extremely beautiful board. The last photo of this board does a minor imperfection.
