Lewis Chess Set - Moose Antler - Hand Carved

Nice!! What did you make the board of?

That board is made out of Moose Antler placed on 3/4” Baltic Birch Plywood. Those pieces you see on that board are carved out of Moose and Caribou antler. The other board is made out of Spalted Maple and walnut and so are the chess pieces.

I feel soooooooooooooooo inadequate now, thanks. :-)

WOW. I’ve always wanted a set like that and, while I was familiar with the Isle of Lewis Chess Set, I had no idea a set like that would ever exist. WOW!

Looks Great David! The board is fantastic.

Thanks Jim.. You make some awesome chess sets. I’ve never carved anything but the Lewis Set. My father had a molded set that I always liked so I carved them. He has since passed away and I have his set that I use to get the right details. That board Jim.. I done on my Laser, once I had the Moose antler applied and sanded smooth. It took 8 hours to Laser it.

that’s a lotta carvin… awesome

Outstanding, again! Curious- what does the Lewis refer to? A carving style?

-- Regret- the feeling you get just after you do something really stupid.
