Members CitizenKate Posted May 20, 2009 Author Members Report Posted May 20, 2009 How did you get that look on the non board leather, I mean that textured look what tool are you using Josh, that was done with an M657 matting stamp. The stamp is rotated as it is walked around the area to give it a more random pattern. Kate Quote

Kate time for you to show them up and make a leather chess piece set. A few years back, I did experiment a little with ways to make leather game pieces for different games, including Chess. So many possibilities! But I couldn't seem to come up with anything that could hold a candle to some of the beautiful carved sets you see from House of Staunton or other game houses. Decided to stick with the boards. I'd love to see some ideas the rest of you might have, though. Kate Quote
