Popular Post Check Twice Posted June 20, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 I built these chess boards several years back and forgot I had built two, seems to be my thing to build two of something. The first was built with oak and walnut and I do like purple heart for trim just a very vibrant color when finished. The second was built with birch and walnut again with the purple heart. The second I gave to my oldest son 18 - 20 years ago (now 52) as we both enjoy chess. The first I can't remember who got it as it was built first not even sure how long ago. I had a habit of using up small scraps for small projects, waste not I say. BTW my two son beat the pants off me in chess now. My children and grandchildren got a lot of my projects. The set of doll bunk beds was built for my youngest daughter approximately 30 - 35 years ago (now 42) and was handed to my granddaughter a couple of years back. she gave them back to me a few years back to refinish them for her daughter, they actually seen two generations get use of it. The beds were made with hand tool, table saw and a router (my first router). No fancy tools in those days for me.They were made of knotty pine and light coat of varnish. The last is a cribbage board I made 18 - 20 years ago for my youngest son (now 40) he enjoyed playing me and so the board was a necessity. We don't use it much now but it is a keep sake. Made with birch and once again the purple heart trim. As my profile says I am an amateur and a chef by trade, woodworking is a hobby and the two I have enjoy my working life. I love to create things. Maybe someone may see a use for some of those small pieces of wood hanging around. It is amazing the things created on the wood available to me at the time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
