@jacmater And don't think for a second that those red felt pads went unnoticed. Nice touch to bring it all together.

Love the Staunton Castle version - especially for the price! The only question is... To antique? Or not antique? As much as the idea of fake antique finish shocks and appalls me... I kinda like it.

I am not a big fan of antiqued. I would always go with plain boxwood if possible. However, I really like the SC antiqued 1950 shown in this thread. https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-equipment/dubrovnik-1950-the-definitive-reproduction. I think this looks good being paired with a stained dark army. Check it out at post #6.
You know, I'm leaning towards regular boxwood this morning. I've seen some samples of the SC antique finish that look good an others that look a little too "brushed on." Better to get it natural and stop worrying about it i think.
but the set overall? really digging it. forget the history, just a good looking set!

Whaatt? The cheapest lathe is 540 euro without add ons?
I just signed up for a lathe class. I'm still wondering how I can bring my tool with me to the class.
