Game Boards
Whenever I do a Craft Show or a Farmer's Market, Somebody will ask me if I make any outdoor furniture or game boards (chess and cribbage seem to be the most commonly asked for). Here are some examples of what I'm building.
Hand Made Chess Boards involve interesting types of materials and construction. Mine utilize your choice of either wood or stone squares set in a wooden frame. The frame is made first and squared with the bottom support glued in place and the edges then protected with inlay. Squares are then cut and and the separators are cut to size to fill the frame. Everything is then glued in place and sanded, sanded and sanded again until it's as smooth as possible. Layer upon layer of finish is then laid on to give the piece its patina and smooth as possible finish.
I will also make boards to your specifications. The price may vary if you want a different size than standard and if you want me to use woods that are significantly different in cost from the woods I use as standard.
