Chessboard coffee table / Shakkilauta kahvipöytä


Chessboard coffee table. Red oak / Punatammi block board, which I made from scrap pieces. Actually, because our paequet floor is English oak I waxed the table with several colour layers to make it look likw English oak, which suceeded well. The chessboard is of marble / marmori, coated with Epoxy resin. If I were to make it again I would leave the chessboard uncoated, because the resin has yellowed considerably in 5 years The close up on left shows the colour as it was originally! (little bit of Photoshop retouching) whilst the image above is how it looks today.
