Chess table & pieces

Really nice board and pieces, Bob. I like the way you mirrored the light stripe on the dark top with the dark stripe on the light apron. I never thought of cutting pieces on a scroll saw, but those look great.

Great work Bob. I love the design, the woods used and the excellent craftsmanship. I’m adding this to my favourites. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for you kind words….. Bob

Wonderful, Bob. While the chess pieces are marvelous, I really like the chess table. I have a set of cherry and hard maple chess pieces in my workshop ready to be scrollsawn…..I’ll get around to cutting them out one of these days.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Outstanding…
I’ve made chess boards (but not as nice as yours), and I’ve turned a few pawns (that my puppy chewed up), but I never attempted to make 32 pieces.
Great job.
