Medieval Chess Board With Copper Inlay

$850

I had been meaning to build a chessboard for quite a time now and finally I have settled on a design after a long time contemplating on what it should look like. I have decided to go with an outlook that is reminiscent of the dark ages. It features extensive fretwork, inlaying and "old school" joinery. It is made of maple and walnut and has the plenty of inlay in both species of wood and copper as well. The latch on the two drawers are also made of copper and the drawers themselves are mated with dovetail joints. The numbers and letters representing the squares are intarsia and so are some of the accents on the drawers and the sides of the board. The corners have scroll-sawn maple symbols that resemble Keltic art on all three sides of them. The pieces are turned on lathe and have felt covering the bottom. The Knights are carved to be dragons. The wood used is not stained or dyed, but is covered with a few layers of sprayed lacquer. Size of the board is 20 3/4" x 20 3/4 x 3"

Let's cut the…

I make what I like to call functional art and I try to make it as special as one can. I mostly work with wood, steel, concrete and epoxy, though I am steadily expanding my horizons. Most all of the materials I use are recycled/repurposed.

All of my pieces are bespoke made to order products. I conceive, design and build everything on my own. The design phase means complete 3D modeling and photorealistic rendering of the pieces. I am a huge fan of exchange of ideas with my customers and the crazier the idea the more excited I get.

For now it is shuffleboards, pool tables, dining tables and various housewares that comprise my portfolio, but who knows what might come. I am working on a hovercraft and if I pull that off…

You get the idea!!!
