About

With access to either an Epilog Helix or a Universal laser, you can make your own chess board.

This chess board was created within 10 minutes using Visio, and engraved in 30 minutes on the Universal laser.

Normally the translucent (engraved) squares would be completely opaque, but by using a reduced engraving power I instead engraved marbled squares.

With 3"-scale chess pieces from the local game store, the chess set was made complete.
