First by making the chess set pieces. Then to add every piece into the actual table and chairs.
1. The top has parquetry around the outer border showing the castle move, were the Rooks protect the King.
2. The table base has the King upside down. Scaled 9 times larger then the chess set King. The King is in the center because he is the most important piece in the game.
3. The Knights are the main four feet to the table legs. Describing their angled moves.
4. Both chairs have on the center top, the Queen’s Crown.
5. At the top of both sides of the chairs are the Bishops & Pawns .
6. The back of the chairs has a abstract of a female figure, to resemble the Queen’s body.
7. Their are four hidden drawers in the tops edge. On the top of the drawers the Knights were cut into marquetry in the opposite wood.
8. The woods used were American Black walnut & Hard Maple. Each wood to resemble each players color.

This is unbelievable. How many hours did this one take??
Thank you Tommor85
It took my a long time. The design of the table and chairs took the longest. I worked on the design for about six months.
The level of detail is absolutely astonishing. Truly fit for a "king" and "queen."
Just to echo the other comments so far - absolutely brilliant! I would love to read an article about this in FWW oneday.
Unbelievably amazing.

what a wonderful display of design and execution. Absolutely remarkable!!! Not only is your craftsmanship superb, but the thought process that goes in to designing a project like this is truly amazing. What a fantastic piece of art!
It looks very nice, but where is the "cabinet"?
Thank you Woodswarrior, for the complement.
I have four hidden drawers, their on both sides of the table.
These hidden drawers are for storing all the chess pieces.
Great job.
Your work is incredibly beautiful and the attention to detail is astounding. This comming from a perfectionist and a chess connoisseur.You have my full admiration.
