Any woodworkers?

You could make it 2 pieces on a router table. A base and raised panel. Probably easier and safer.

 

Yes typical WW trick is to build up a profile...much easier than finding some complex bit and making pounds of sawdust.

 

FIFY

 

That's the exciting thing about wood working, there's always different ways to approach a problem. My first thought as to how to duplicate that feature would be to use a table saw set with a sacrificial fence with a 1/2" dado stack set at half the board depth and cut a rabbit around the 3 edges. Then use a router table with the fence set to hold the bit at the correct height and offset to cut the round-over. If you dont have a router table, you could set up a jig or edge-guide to follow the edge profile. If you dont have a dado stack to cut a rabbit, you could use a 1/2" rabbit bit or 1/4" whatever the measurements of the profile say. I can only guesstimate based on the picture.

for sure easiest way to do it if its not imperative that its all one piece like the original in pic

 

Thanks all!

 

Multi level chess board done

 

Looks Great @wilcam47 ! Now you gotta make the pieces

 

When a knight takes out a pawn from a higher position it is a requirement that the player says "THIS IS SPARTA!!" and knocks the piece right off the board. Looks cool!

 

Finished the cupcake tree for my daughters wedding.

 

Nice!!

Nice Shop too!

 

looks great!
What did you end up doing for the levels?

 

Glueing boards edge to edge. I turned the center columns to a 3” diameter.

 

well, you win best comment for the day I may have laughed a bit too hard at this picturing someone actually doing this.

My daughter is graduating from the University of Nebraska with a Masters in Psychology on Friday. (She’s still got a ways to go to get her PhD.) She asked me to make some pens to give to her friends for a graduation present.

So here they are in Husker Red and black:

 

Hey I just traded my Taco in, but I think I will still keep coming here just to post my WW pictures LOL!
