Chess set for school charity

Very nice wood selections. I love the idea of making your own chess set. That we really make it their own. Nice project, Great Workmenship. I should note that the rope edge is a nice touch.

Excellent! great use of grain and love the way you put the rope around the top of the felt in the drawer. Very Classy!!

This is very nice, someone received a great chess board. Well done.

Great design, I like it. How’s the chess playing going. Are you ready to take on the experts?.

I don’t play chess yet, and someone bought the chess set at auction, so it’s gone. I’ll have to make a new one and learn the game.

How much did it go for? Seen some like that for sale for 2 to 3 hundred bucks that weren’t nearly as nice. It’s good to practice and learn on things you are going to give away or sell and then make your own nicer and improved based on the experience.

I plan to make a poker table for a friend and after that I’ll make my own.

Great job! I really like the twisted rope around the drawer.

Chamoru,

This sold at a school auction for my daughter’s elementary school. Her school was private and had some pretty affluent families attending, it sold for $3500!!!

I have seen several of the chess board but never one with a storage drawer under it. Very nice.

That”s a chessboard. I like the beveled sides.
