Project Information

Only two more sets to go on this big overseas order. I make lots of music themed sets, but nothing like this before. The chessboard, made from solid Maple and Walnut measures just over 28" square, the board tiles are about 2.75" square, and it's over 10" from the top of the table to the top of the tuba.

Chess pieces turned and carved from solid Walnut and Maple.

Have some pretty cool sets in the works at the moment, maybe my fave of the bunch is the Masonic Chess set.

Jim….whole new meaning to the term 'chess master'. You do beautiful work and combined with your creativity, you always come up with really great and unique sets. Makes me wish this site allowed larger images to view.
