Popular Post Dave Monk Posted January 2 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 2 This is the second one I've made but I dressed this one up a bit. I used maple, cherry and Peruvian walnut. Magnets are embedded from the back side in each square and a small one glued to the back of each piece. jpburcham, BadBob, ChelCass and 19 others 20 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut the profile on the front and sides then cut the back flat so I can glue the magnet on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
