Awesome!
Mario Sanchez Leather Chess Equipment
I am out of the nursing homes early today and the daylight is good. So, here are some pictures of the large, 2.25" square board on my family room carpet. I took the board out of its tube and reverse rolled it for about a minute or so. This is not a floppy leather but has some stiffness to the board. You can see this in the one earlier picture where I showed the back of the board. As you can see the board lies perfectly flat with no waves.
Hi Ron, and everyone else here. I have recently been given the link to this thread. I must say it did warm my heart incredibly to hear Eyechess' review. Not to mention the feedback in this thread, it is invaluable and I noticed there were lots of questions that I probably haven't addressed as transparently as I would like.
I have created a new listing on our Etsy shop, where you can see all the customisable options and their associated costs. Shipping is the only thing I could not alter, but I would as usual refund any excess shipping charged.

Again, thank you all of those who have already a set from me, I do greatly enjoy making them, and enjoy even more when I know they are being played on and enjoyed thoroughly. I have fun when ya'll have fun
All the very best.

ps. Oh, i forgot, I will be filming the chess sets as soon as I am able to show ya'll how the board lies flat, I understand this is a major concern for most. I will also go through some general care instructions so that the set can give you a lot of years of enjoyment.
Wow, it has been 2 years since I first got these boards! Time does fly by.
I am still using the boards and sets and clocks as pictured earlier in this topic. In fact, both of them are on the back seat of my car right now.
While I don't use the larger board for tournament play anymore, it is completely suitable for that. Instead I have the larger one for casual or skittle play with friends.
The smaller board, I use a lot for analysis and when in a coffee shop with smaller tables.
Very beautiful Ron.
