Just put the finishing touches on the chess set for the kids. Wish that I had taken more pics through the construction but was in a bit of a hurry to get it done. The board and men are maple and black walnut. The rest is all cherry that I salvaged from a job I did years ago. The inside of the box where the drawer goes is the color that they stained the cherry ( yea what a waste of such a beautiful wood) I ended up putting about 4 coats of a semi gloss Watco lacquer that I had on hand. Next time I will use something different. Looking forward to seeing the boys faces when they unwrap this gift. Merry Christmas to every one and all the best in the new year. Oh and for some reason these pictures all came out right side up. ( go figure lol )
