I am building a table and at the center will be a chess boartd. It will have 64 squares each 2 3/8 square and 3/4 inches thick. As a chess board alone I would probably just glue it up but as a table top center , I am thinking of using biscuits to join the squares.
Would you use biscuits? If yes , where would you put the biscuits? If I put one on each side of every square it totals aredficulous 256 biscuits!
Anyway , thoughts? Suggestions?
One Idea I have is to just use a relatively few biscuits to hlp align the surfaces and put a piece of hardwood plywood under the middle to support the squares. This plywood would be hidden by a skirt that will run along the underside of the finished table.
Anyway , this is my first "big" project outside of pens and bell handle kits , etc . so curious what the real experienced woodworkers would do.
