Ruhlmann Inspired Chess Table
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Craig Thibodeau
Thibodeau, who won Best of Show last year, gained inspiration for this Macassar ebony and holly chess table from Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann’s Art Deco furniture. The playing surface, bubinga and holly squares, is framed with a Gabon ebony and holly inlay. A jatoba drawer is used for piece storage, and a slide-out tray with mother-of-pearl inlay and Gabon ebony runners holds pieces captured during play. The finish is conversion varnish and lacquer.
