Produktbeschreibung

As one of the world's most popular games, chess is appealing not only because of the strategy and tactics involved, but for the beautiful pieces used to play the game. To players and collectors alike, chess sets can be elegant works of art and conversation pieces that are proudly displayed in either a home or office. But, just like the game, making a chess set involves strategic planning. With the expert guidance of woodworker Jim Kape, you'll be thinking many moves ahead as you create 13 one-of-a-kind chess sets along with a handsome board to display them and a sturdy storage box for your pieces. Making Wooden Chess Sets includes all the know-how and patterns you need to create stunning sets inspired by the classic architectural beauty of cities like Paris, San Francisco, and Venice. One of the sets is even designed with a distinctive vertical board that hangs on the wall and literally turns the chess pieces into a showcased work of art. A cleverly designed travel set enables you to bring your chess game wherever you go. Whether you're a woodworker, chess player, or scroll saw enthusiast, you'll be inspired by the beautiful exotic woods, the high level of craftsmanship, and unique designs to start crafting your own heirloom-quality chess sets.
