Chess Board with LED | Epoxy

In this video I am building a chess board for my kids. It was time to upgrade their recent version. They mainly played checkers on this old board, but this new chess board 'game console' gives them the option to play both, while housing the pieces in a lower compartment.

I used cedar wood and blue cobalt pigment for the epoxy. For my first ever chess board, this turned out great! I love the design... and can't wait to make another one.

Thank you for being part of this woodworking journey and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the build. I have one custom order in for the next chess board and would be willing to make others. If interested, email C323woodworks@outlook.com.
