Glades Chess (Swamp Knights) - Custom Turned
Well all, here's the final set and black side pieces. The original idea came from a set I made last year where I replaced the Horse head knights with Gator head knights. It turned out surprisingly well, so this is just the next logical progression.
The woods used are Red Oak (white side) and Burmese Blackwood (black side). The king height is roughly 3.5 inches and the pieces were designed to sit on a 1.75inch square board.
The finish on the white side pieces is high gloss polyurethane, the finish on the black pieces is Shellac + Wax. The burmese black wood cannot readily be poly'd as the natural oils in the wood prevent curing.
The bottoms of all the pieces bear my "mark" as is customary for traditional chess set contruction.
Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions.
Thanks!
