Ribbon-edge Chess/Checker Board

That looks like it took a great deal of time to design and do. The result is fantastic! Thank you for sharing it with us.

What is the material/wood of the pieces? I love that you did a different design so if they darken with age you’ll still be able to see who is who :smiley:

That explains the incredible twists in it. Burl woods are almost too pretty to be real!

Fabulous, Demarcus! Are you selling the SVG for this anywhere?

They post a lot of stuff to the Glowforge catalog, but I do not believe this is there.

(the link looks generic, but it’ll take you to all of @demarcusalexan’s designs)

It should be there once it’s accepted by the catalog

@glowforge Any idea how long this will take to be accepted by the catalog?

GF staff rarely participate here. This is the user community.

That said, I doubt anyone at GF would commit to when it would be available.

Generally it’s in the month or so range, but there are lots of variables so, as @eflyguy said, no one official will generally say (even to the designer).

Also, the account you tagged is not a staff account, they all have their names. There’s a bunch of users who used an email address of “glowforge@” and your email is your default username.
