I’ve had a love/hate relationship with chess since SJ kicked my butt in the 6th grade. I’ve never been a student of the game, but I have learned enough to make tournament-quality chess boards.
Good thing, since it’s my # 1 most requested item. To my chagrin.
However, I’ve battled my demons, worked though my shop chaos, and have now brought these boards to the finish line.
Each of these 5 boards has the playing surface mounted proud of the frame.
Because that’s how a chess board should be, I believe. Proud.
Each of the 5 are different, of course, because too much repetition doesn’t make for a good game.
One is a commissioned piece, but when the buyer saw this collection, he bought 2 more. The remaining 2 will be at this weekend’s KHTS Home & Garden Show at Central Park in Santa Clarita. We’ll be in the front of the “KHTS Marketplace; their section for vendors with handmade goods. It’s right by the free tree giveaway in honor of Arbor Day, sponsored by the city of Santa Clarita. This event is our only Spring Fling in Santa Clarita – for updated event listings, just click on the menu link for “Mr & Mrs M’s Upcoming Events.” Hope to see you at one of these events.
It’s your move.
