32 day "Egyptian Chess Set" project with the longmill

I’m still coming back here to ogle this piece and I have a request if you could be so kind. I’d like to see the board from the front and sides if you could.

The chess pieces are so cool I kind of ignored the board at first but it looks nice as well. I’m guessing it has two drawers, one for each players pieces. I can’t tell if the bottom of the drawer is painted red or felt but it looks well made and like the red wood accent on the drawer front for a bit of flair, like this piece needed more pizzaz. :laughing:

P.S. If you made this to sell I hope you get what it’s worth, a lot in my opinion. Wherever it ends up I’m sure it will be cherished for for a long time!

Sorry Michael, I just did see your comment and request. Yes it sold for $4000.00.

I find it encouraging that you got a good price for this piece. I think I tend to undervalue my work, not that I’ve made anything worth near as much as this. Still, it’s nice know that you can get good money for good work.

Keep up the good work, and thanks again for sharing!
