Chess Table

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.

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.

      Darrin is great! He provided me with great ideas and and possible alternatives in wood. The option I ended up selected looks FABULOUS!
      The packaging for the table is amazing! There was no damage whatsoever to the table -- I don't think there could have been unless the box was crushed! :-)

      I am extremely pleased with my purchase and how it turned out.

      Darrin, thank you so very much for a splendid job!

      Consider 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!

      Beautiful pieces of furniture. Our custom pieces are a nice addition to our sitting area. The wood selection is really special.

      I couldn't be happier! Darrin was a pleasure. I described what I wanted and, in two or three emails, he had set to paper exactly what I had in mind. I was able to watch the process since Darrin sent pics at different stages of development. He drove the completed table to my house when he said he would (despite there having been a blizzard the preceding day), set it up, gave me detailed information on how to care for it, and was extremely generous in offering to change/fix whatever didn't suit me. Unnecessary, since the piece is gorgeous! For a big guy, he has quite a gentle touch in his woodworking!
