Asking $95 for the board and pieces, shipping, and packaging within CONUS.

I have for sale a hand crafted and signed by David Levy, Hardwood Creations, Davis CA. This stunning master's chess board and noble chess pieces are made from solid hard woods. No stains or dyes are used. The colors and patterns are derived from the natural wood. Finished with lacquer for lasting luster and durability. I believe the frame is Walnut, the light squares and pieces Maple, and the dark squares and pieces Wenge.

Dimensions:

19 7/8 x 19 7/8 inches sits on four 1/2 inch semi-spherical pads

1 3/4 inch dovetailed walnut frame that is 3/4" thick

Light and dark squares are 2"

King 3 5/8", Queen 3 1/8", Bishop 2 3/4", Knight 2 1/2", Castle 2", Pawn 1 7/8"

The green-felted pieces are nicely weighted and balanced with a solid tactile feel. Rarely used and so it is in very good condition. If you look hard enough you may see a tiny scratch here and there. I do want to call you attention to two of my pics showing one of the dark bishops needs some touching up. I didn't want to touch it up until the prospective buyer saw the pic. A bit of extra fine sandpapering and some finish, and it's back to its before state. Supersedes all previous posts regarding this subject.

wow, that is a gorgeous set. If it is here in a week or so after the Feds give me back my over taxed dollars, which of course they borrowed all year without paying me interest haha, I will jump all over it!

 

I love wooden chess sets!

this year, or this month, or, more likely, this very day, we have failed to practice ourselves the kind of behavior we expect from other people.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
