  1. Hand carved/turned Chess pieces with Chess table

  2. The Samurai Chess Set

    Started out with the theme and made the pieces, then designed the board to go underneath them. When I can, I like to get the chessboards involved as much as possible with the theme as the pieces are. The pieces are carved from Walnut and Poplar. Kings about 7" tall. Pawns about 3.5" tall...

  4. chess board and pieces

    The chessboard is my design motivated by shoji screens. The chess pieces were designed by John Economaki of Bridge City Tool fame. I made them in a class he taught at the Marc Adams school. John is a very good teacher, with lots of skill and a good humor style. The board pieces were made on...

  5. Two-In-One: Chess Board and Chess Pieces

    These are actually part of two separate projects, both the subjects of classes I taught at the local Lee Valley Tools in Kelowna BC. The first was a pyrography project on a basswood slab. I wanted to teach the basics of pyrography, showing how to create different textures. The common way to...

  7. Box for Chess Pieces

    Follow up to a previous chess board gift. The pieces are from Lee Valley. First try at barrel hinges and got a little over aggressive with the chamferring but learned from the experience.

    Well, here it is. After many months of looking at all of your excellent projects, here is my first project post.

    Only two more sets to go on this big overseas order. I make lots of music themed sets, but nothing like this before. The chessboard, made from solid Maple and Walnut measures just over 28" square, the board tiles are about 2.75" square, and it's over 10" from the top of the table to the top...

    I didn't want not owning a lathe to stop me form making a gift for a fellow woodworker. I have managed to turn cylinders before on my drill press so I thought I would be a bit more adventurous and try my hand at making a couple bishops. I have more than happy with the results. I have a...

    Finished this a couple days before my son's birthday and just haven't been home to post it yet. He asked over Christmas if I could make him a chess board and set.

  13. Hand Made Chess Set

    The first thing I wanted to do when I "Became" a wood worker was to make my own chess set. I don't know why - I don't play chess all that much and I'm not that great at it. I think I was the idea that this was some grand goal that only a REAL wood worker could accomplish. Foolish maybe, but...

    Pawns and working out the kinks I decided to make a 4.75" chess set and board. I knew it would take a while and it has taken me about 30 minutes per pawn to turn them not including 5 coats of wipe on poly with dry time between. So far I've turned all of the white pawns, which are curly maple...
