The game table field
is made
from Wenge and Curly Maple. The squares were constructed by
resawing the wenge and curly maple into 1/8 in thick boards then glued
to 3/4 in apple plywood. Both sides of the plywood are
laminate
and the plywwod cut into 2" wide boards. These are then edge
glued alternating wenge and maple forming a board with 8 strips.
After the glue has set, the plywood is ripped again on the
opposite side forming 2 inch wide strips that now consist of black and
white alternating squares. One last edge glueup is done to
form
the field by flipping over every other strip. |
