Regulation Size End Grain Chess Board with Gold Leaf

In this video I make a regulation size end grain chess board with a brass border and hand carved initials with gold leaf.
The squares are 2.25" x 2.25" and they are made from ash and black walnut. The frame around the board is 2.5" wide and it's made from black walnut with a tiger maple edge band. The mitered corners of the frame are reinforces with mortise and tenon joinery. Four inch finger slots are routed along the bottom of the two sides. The thickness of the board is 1.25"
