A co-worker asked me to make him a checkerboard. Some scrap flooring, some scrap trim, and a couple boards later and here they are.
His is on the right and the other went to my step-daughter.

Wow those are nice. So how did you do it? Would love to make one for my son!
My brain + his brawn = a perfect team
Thanks.
I surface planed the flooring to 3/8, then I ripped them close to finish width on tablesaw.
Then I set a stop on mitre box, cut to length, rotated piece 90 and cut width.
Glued to a 1/4 paneling 1/4 larger than finished board.
Cut rabbet in trim to fit paneling overhang.
Great! Thanks for the info!My brain + his brawn = a perfect team
