Checkerboard Game Table

This checkerboard table is made from walnut and pine. It is recessed so the lip will keep the checkers from falling off the edge.

Started by framing the top with a dark walnut wood.

Added some wood supports to hold the actual checkered panel.

This step was tricky and I apologize for not having more pictures of this step. I cut strips of pine and strips of walnut. Glued them together, edge to edge. Then cut across them and flipped to alternate the woods to form the checkered pattern.

The checkered assembly was placed inside the walnut frame.

Added pine legs with walnut support cross pieces.

Applied clear coat to entire table, legs, etc.

The table made a beautiful piece for game room or country type den or cabin.
