It's interesting how much difference the antique makes in your coloring. I always think it looks nice before, but when you're done, it's awesome!! Once again, you did a great job.

Kate,

I feel like a twit, all I can say is beautiful.

No way would I be able to handle that pressure. I'd be so terrified of screwing up the dye work.....

Wonderful work Kate. Thanks for the step by step pics and commentary.

I will need to finish the dye work, as well as the antique and finish by tomorrow if I want to ship this thing by the end of the week.

Can't help but admire your work Kate. I've been thinking about trying a backgammon board for a while - but I know it wouldn't be a patch on the ones you turn out.

Love the way the antiquing mellows the colours down. :notworthy:

I love the way you blend color and texture into an eye-pleasing elegant design. You have a knack for going all out, but not over-doing. Your board is worth 10X what you probably charged. I would be pleased to put my hand-carved gazillion-dollar custom-made chess pieces on that board....if I really had a custom set of chess pieces.

On a personal note, I know you have been very busy lately with varous projects, including all you are doing here at LW, and I appreciate they way you let us all follow the WIP from start to finish. I know that took some extra time, but I think I speak for everyone that we found it to be fascinating to watch the chess board turn from plain leather to a Kate Special. Thank you for including us on the journey.
