Looking for a little #feedback. Trying something new. This was an idea for a quilted effect chess board. Still need to throw a border on it, sand it and topcoat it so this is far from a complete board. I think I like it but I'm not a player. If you play would the 3d effect bother you? If you aren't a player do you think it looks good? Bad? Thanks for any input! #woodworking #chess #checkmate #craftsman

Will you flood with epoxy so the chamfers get filled or do a tight coat so that you can feel the grooves if you want? Grain direction at 0/90 for the different colours is very nice. 👍

I'm thinking leave it light or even hardwax instead of epoxy so you can see and feel the effect but I'm open to input. Might even do a second board to try both ways. And yes! I love how the grain looked this way.

Only thing that comes to mind about leaving the grooves is dust buildup over time and subsequent cleaning if not covered when not in use.

Good point!
