Members Double Daddy Posted August 26, 2014 Members Report Posted August 26, 2014 I'da never thunk to make a chess set out of leather....Great job, dkuehn!...especially incorporating it into the table with storage. Very inspirational...I got some rustic pallet oak that just been laying around, waiting for me figure out what to do with it...Hmmm? Quote Have a great day! Chris

Members Fullmetalsam Posted August 26, 2014 Members Report Posted August 26, 2014 It looks incredible !!! I've been meaning to build a chess table and was researching a chess set that would look good with it... your idea is so much better, doing the pieces in leather !!! Thank you so much for sharing Quote Etsy Shop: http://www.dalamor.com
Members CKuehn Posted August 26, 2014 Members Report Posted August 26, 2014 Very well done. As both a leather worker and a chess player it looks great. I have one suggestion. Next time, dye the inside of the black pieces. It will remove the only defect I saw in the entire set. The contrast between the inside light color and the black drew my eyes to that point first. The slight dye overrun on the edges detracts from the greatness of the rest of the work. Just my 2 cents. Michael Nothing stopping me from doing that now, there is no finish on the insides. I'll do it sometime in the near future and make with some pics. Thanks for the suggestion. Also, thanks to everyone for their comments. I appreciate it. Here is the updated pic with the insides of the black pieces dyed. Looks a lot better. Thanks, mlapaglia, for the suggestion. Good Job Dkuehn Quote
Members dkuehn Posted August 26, 2014 Author Members Report Posted August 26, 2014 Good Job Dkuehn Thanks, son. And thanks to everyone else, you all have me feeling pretty good about this project. Quote
Members oscar621 Posted August 27, 2014 Members Report Posted August 27, 2014 Absolutely think this is one of the neatest things I've seen here. It's great work, but even more so it's imagination and I really like that. Quote
