I decided I wanted to make some checkers, but then I realized I didn't have a checker board. So I decided to design one up quick. There isn't much to it since it is mostly just alternating engraved and unengraved squares, but here you are!
I made this at Techshop in SF and it was a lot of fun!
The checkerboard is about 13 inches by 13 inches total; the squares take up 12 inches squared. I messed around with the size a little, but once I knew my checkers would be the standard 1 1/4 inch in diameter, I went with squares that were 1 1/2 inches squared. Then I just added on a bit of a border which brought it up to 13 inches squared.
After it was all cut out, I put on a coat or two of Polycrylic for a protective finish, but you don't have to do that.
I have attached the document for it in eps format. Let me know if you want it and what format you need it in if this one doesn't work.
