A one-of-a-kind chessboard and chess pieces made with hand tools only. Three different uses. Hung on the wall, standing vertically, flat on the floor, ready for a game. From stock dimensioning and preparation, to handcut joinery like square and round mortise and tenons, half-blind dovetails, grooves, and dadoes, to natural oil finishes. Hardwoods like pear, maple, and walnut are visible. Oak and iroko are used for the frame. Chess pieces are hand-carved. No power tools or machines. No shortcuts. Most things in modern life are built for speed, but this piece was built for time.
