Very well done. I'm sure your small son really liked it. What kind of wood did you use?

Very nice, Marc!
There are so few French on the Forum, one a once in a while I enjoye.

[Hawaiilad]

Very nice compound cutting and lovely words...just wish I could understand them.

[Simon MARTIN]

Marc, Could you tell me what wood do you use to make the piece of chess? The black pieces are they painted? Thank you.

[marcleplesq]

Thanks all for your very nice reception.
For the chess pieces I used wild cherry wood
It is a tight grained wood with a very warm color I adored making this work.
Now I will change directions towards clock making. I adore!
Cordially.

Hi Marc

[Block]

That chess set looks great. Has to take awhile to make so many pieces but worth it if you play chess.
I can make out a few words - took French for two years in high school part (because the pretty girls took it). :-) Can never understand a word verbally though (we receive Canadian TV and radio in Western NYS).

Beautiful work -- expert cutting! The wild cherry you used is beautiful wood.
