About a week and a half ago, my fiancee said that she wanted to try chess again.
Unfortunately I had no chessboard, so I decided to make one.
The pieces are made of epoxy resin dyed with alcohol ink, and the board is made from a picture frame, resin, and some tiles from Lowe's, as well as a string of lights from Hobby Lobby with some metallic tape and wax paper to diffuse the light.
I still plan to add one more coat of resin to the top of the board and to modify the base. I am also considering giving the pieces a smoother finish with some spray-on Mod Podge, though I kind of like the foggy look they have now.
