The table is roughly 26" square by about 32" high.
The legs are mortised into the side of the case and topped with Holly, they also have Holly veneered feet. The white and black banding around the top and base curves is Holly and Ebony veneer cut into strips and glued in place after veneering the sides of the case with the Macassar Ebony. Let me know what you think, I look forward to any comments. Craig
This photo shows the mother of pearl pattern on the slide out tray better as well as the colors of the top veneers.
The slide out tray below the drawer is for placing captured pieces during the game. It has a decorative pattern of mother of pearl dots following the curved joints in the veneer. I added the dots to make the tray a bit more interesting to look at.
The drawer for storing pieces is made of Jatoba and finished in satin Lacquer. It is divided down the middle for black and white pieces. There is also an additional storage area behind the pieces for books, checkers, etc.
