Chess Table
This Chess Table is made of Honduran Mahogany with a playing field in Maple and Wenge. The table legs are based upon a French Provincial design I saw many years ago. The gentle arch of the apron and the semi- rounded top give it a more contemporary feel. A game table such as this fits well in a great room/family room or I can custom size it to go in a den or game room. It has a hand rubbed finish that is oil which helps bring out the beauty of the wood, and also gives it a smooth silky feel.

Meet the Maker
Darrin Vanden Bosch
Vb Woodworks
The use of both domestic and exotic woods helps me to enhance the clean lines of my designs. I am influenced by a variety of styles from Shaker and Mission to Art Deco and Art Nouveau, blending them into a more contemporary style.
I have worked with wood for over 30 years, establishing VB Woodworks in 1996.
Along with designing and building custom furniture, I have a few limited productions and semi-custom lines with no two pieces exactly the same.

Jun 20, 2022Consider this a rave review. Five stars plus. Darrin was especially easy to work with, he took his time in answering my questions and always made himself readily available. I chose to work with him based on photographs that were posted and that he sent of previous work and after speaking together I knew that he understood exactly what I was looking for. The craftsmanship of these pieces is beyond what I had expected, and believe me I had high expectations. Darrin created a writing desk with matching night stands out of walnut with contrasting sections done in Curley Maple with hand made drawer pulls. They are beautiful pieces of art that I will enjoy for many years. Thank you, Darrin!

Apr 8, 2020Darrin did a fabulous job on our project. He brings passion to woodworking and a “good ear”, which other reviewers had pointed out too. We were grateful that he considered how we would be using our pantry, and he included a way to anchor it, as well as a top piece that would make the piece easier to clean and offer a place for knick-knacks. We received mostly weekly updates with pictures, and found additional updates on Facebook. We would highly recommend Darrin for any of your project needs. We hope to hire him again too!
