When I was in my early 20's I turned several steel chess sets on a lathe in my Dad's shop. In the spring of 2011, I buffed up the chess sets and refinished them in enamel, then made a new chess board with storage case for each set. I gave these as graduation presents to my my two sons who each each graduated from college.The board is made of Maple and Walnut veneers. The case is made from an Ash tree from the yard where I grew up in rural Grand Forks, North Dakota. The drawer fronts and the bottom trim are Walnut, and the top border is Maple and Walnut. I made the handles from brass stock.

I have a chess table in my near future, undecided whether I should buy the chess pieces, or turn them from wood.
Appreciate more information about how you did the board veneer.
