thanks so much everyone, i love making these myself larry, as for the BLO terry, its boilded linseed oil..i love the stuff, it does a mighty fine job...ellen i didnt want the drawer to be seen so readily so i made it stand back, and because its one drawer, i thought it funny for the opponent to go open his side and my nephew get the quick draw on him and there is no drawer…lol…my sense of humor here…my sister also bought a custom set of chess pieces to go with this…my nephew will be quit surprised…and happy i hope…
