OCtoolguy Posted May 7 Report Posted May 7 Well done. A beautiful set. It will be appreciated, I'm sure. Quote
rafairchild2 Posted Monday at 11:45 PM Author Report Posted Monday at 11:45 PM (edited) Just wanted to post the Venice-inspired finished chess set. The only other thing I did was add 2mm thick trimmed cork to the bottom of the pieces. FYI, I just started a neo-classical chess set using black limba for the dark, and white limba for the light pieces. Looking at the two cut-away wood, you can see what the BL will look like when finished. I have to admit, I love the look 'dry', as the contrast is fantastic. PS: That is my 30" Pegas scroll saw in the background. I love it! Edited Monday at 11:46 PM by rafairchild2 TAIrving, JackJones, jerry walters and 1 other 3 1 Quote
