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.

Totally cool. Love the touch of the clef signs on the corners of the board-are those cherry?

Of course as a trumpet player, I take offense that you have a tuba as king. OK, it's bigger, but all trumpet players know who is more important. ;-)

Amazing craftsmanship. The carving on those pieces must have taken forever.

Full accolades to yet another wonderful set, Jim. I always enjoy seeing these unique sets, kind of wish I had a set… and probably more important someone nearby that could play a decent game. Look forward to seeing the Masonic themed set. Where overseas are these sets destined? Not my neck of the woods, perchance?...

Great craftsmanship Jim. I went to your Esty site to see some of your other work. You are a busy man :).

You're a real artist, and I am glad to see that you actually get paid well for your work. I also sell on etsy, but you are in a whole different league. Very nice, good for you.
