I made this double sided chess board for Martin Gustafsson from Malmö, Sweden. It has a base with drawers on either side to store chess pieces. The top is removable and can be flipped over to reveal algebraic notation. The board can also be rotated 90 degrees to change the orientation of the drawers so that they open toward each player, or from side to side. The squares are made from walnut and maple (I think I may have mentioned ash in the video) and they are 2.25" by 1.5" thick. The walnut frame is 2" wide and 1" thick.
