Thank you both!
I am sure I will eventually everything with billiard cloth. I wanted to do this with a different set for a while already and have been looking for some Simonis Cloth before, but I never thought about looking on eBay 🤦🏽♂️
Maybe I will post some pictures, when it’s time.
Ebony for the end.
Looks like you've done a good job!
Judging by that close-up of the Knight, it's a nicer set than the Fischer-Spassky set I had. Also, your fingernails look to be a lot cleaner than mine.
I bought some old pool table baize cloth on eBay in the past - used, it's dirt cheap. It's not a big job to replace all of the felt (or baize) of a chess set and it's quite satisfying. Obviously you wouldn't do that with a rare antique set where you want to preserve the originality, but for playing sets it's worth considering.
