The thicker you go, the more likely the panel will move on you. So I usually cut the veneer to about 1/8" and then drum sand down to about 3/32". But for that particular application, you can probably get away with 1/8". Glad you liked the interview too. That was a lot of fun! Personally, I wouldn’t go thicker than 1/8″.

Or is there still too much movement even with 1/4"? After checking, it was Steve Ramsey's video I remember seeing. BTW, great interview :-). It's funny because I subscribe to both of you and I get something very useful and great but different from both of you. But Steve has been getting stranger lately but in a good way. Notice I didn't say strange. Thanks again! Do you feel 1/4″ is thin enough if glued to a ply or MDF and then framing it? Or is there still too much movement even with 1/4″?

Making the top without a frame would certainly go a long way in making the top more stable. As long as it can expand and contract, everything should be ok. If you want something that's even more stable, that's when you go with something like an MDF or ply core and thin veneer outer skins. That would be completely stable over time and you actually could surround it by a frame if you wanted to. Hey Dustin.

You did exactly as I suggested on YouTube. I just didn't know it exsisted. However, with the chess/checker board, other than not framing it what else would you do differently? I saw one example of someone using thin strips (maybe 1/4 or 1/8 in) of different wood (walnut and maple) on top of either MDF or plywood. How much would that prevent those problems? Thanks again and an excellent video! Dustin Munchel Well I stand corrected. You did exactly as I suggested on YouTube. I just didn’t know it exsisted.

Thank you so much for swallowing your pride and showing me what the affects of age can do to a piece that costs plenty of time and money to make.

As for the checkerboard, probably not worth the effort. Would be easier to just make a new one that won't crack over time.... Yeah that’s a painful lesson to learn Tom.

I glued them up and took the clamps off after about 30 min to an hour which is what was recommended on the label of the glue. The shelves were then scraped and run through the drum sander and taken to the job site and given to the painters. The next day all of joint lines showed up after the primer was applied. They all had to be re sanded. I think the glued swelled up the wood at the joint which was then sanded off. After it dried thoroughly the wood shrunk back down. The lesson learned would be to allow more time after the glue sets up before sanding. Is there any way you could disassemble the checker board top and fix it?

Being new to wood working I never relized that wood changes so much over time. Thanks to another one of your great videos I know that. I'm also sure that I will learn from my own mistakes(prototypes). So have you tried to make another chess (checker) board with better success?
