I made a chessboard for a colleague that lives in our country´s central region.
I had to make a wooden box to protect the board during S&H.

Very nice. I'll be starting my chess board next week. What lumber did you use. Beautiful board.

Turned out nice, Alexis. I'm sure your buddy will like it. I wish all deliveries came packed like that. ;-)

Very good job!

I made a box to ship a project/gift a couple of times. I choked on the price it cost to ship them but tjey did arrive in the same shape they. left

Hi, Marco.
I am having the same problem to send a pair of cutting boards to my sons, one to Chile, and the other to the USA.

Hi, Oscar36.
Thanks for your comments and good luck with your future chessboard.
I used caribbean pine and apamate for the squares of the chessboard. Some cedar surrounds the perimeter and camphor wood from some shipping boxes that I had for the frame.

Well done. I always admire such precision.

Very Nice! Beautiful work!
What are the sizes of the square blocks? In the future I will be building one for myself.

Hi Arcola60.
Thank you for the compliments.
Each block is 40mmx40mm but later on, I discovered that there are several rules for the chessboard sizes. For the pieces too.
International associations all over the world set specific measurements for the tournament boards.

Thank You Alexis!
