Checkered captains cabin floor


Recommended Posts

I’d like to make the captains cabin floor using two different woods in the traditional diamond pattern.  I’m sure there is a method for doing this that will produce an even consistent floor at about 3/64 thick.  Anyone have a tutorial I could reference or suggestions how to go about it?

Very nice Chuck!   Chapter 10 for those looking for this.  While it is not the black and white canvas that was actually used, this is much nicer IMHO.
