Finished Chess Set

[Badger]

Hi There. Here is the finished chess set. Woods used are walnut and mahogany. I ended up stripping the lacquer off the board and using oil and wax. I couldn't get a suitable satin finish with the lacquer.

All comments and critiques are welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Very nice set. I am thinking of making a set for our son as a Christmas gift...what patterns did you use?

Great job. Love making chess sets.

Thanks for the comments. I used "Making Wooden Chess Sets" by Jim Kape. Great patterns and great instructions.
