What thickness of leather did you use for the board? Did you just glue it to wood?

The leather is 9/10 and I did glue it to a piece of plywood.

This is one of the coolest leather projects I have seen. I love taking leather beyond garments and holsters. Simply beautiful.

Very well done. As both a leather worker and a chess player it looks great. I have one suggestion. Next time, dye the inside of the black pieces. It will remove the only defect I saw in the entire set. The contrast between the inside light color and the black drew my eyes to that point first. The slight dye overrun on the edges detracts from the greatness of the rest of the work. Just my 2 cents.

Nothing stopping me from doing that now, there is no finish on the insides. I'll do it sometime in the near future and make with some pics. Thanks for the suggestion.

Also, thanks to everyone for their comments. I appreciate it.
