Chess Table

Chess Table

$1,550

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 crafted a gorgeous Arts and Crafts-style console table that I gave to my husband as a Christmas present. The craftsmanship is utterly sublime -- it is absolutely perfect. The joinery and finish are silky smooth and flawless. The table looks as though it was made by Berkeley Mills, from whose pieces I drew inspiration in communicating to Darrin what I wanted.

      As for communication, Darrin "listened" attentively to what I wanted and asked me a number of questions aimed at ensuring I would be satisfied. He left nothing to chance.

      When the piece arrived at my house, I was seriously impressed at the extreme care with which it had been packaged for transport, which included being wrapped in a moving blanket and plastic moving wrap and then placed in a sturdy box that had been reinforced on all sides with rigid panels and styrofoam.

      It's reassuring to know that fine wood artisans like Darrin are still around and making the world a bit more beautiful with each of their creations. I highly and enthusiastically recommend Darrin to anyone looking for fine wood craftsmanship, and I plan to use him again myself in the future.

      Darrin 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!
