To Virginia, something about her daughter's wedding planning. :icon_scra Must be a girl thing to have to have pictures of a food tasting.

Anyhow, I can't prove the final Pink Ivory chess piece is cut out 'till she gets home tomorrow. :eusa_doh:

I did a lot of sanding on the really burnt up piece. It doesn't look as bad as it did when it first came off the saw, but it could still use a good deal of improvement. :dontknow:

Finally got my hands on the camera

Now for some serious sanding and polyurethane



and from the opposite side:



and finally, from the dark side:



I know the chess pieces still need work but at least all the cutting is done.

Good looking chess pieces. I'll bet that really took some time with all that detail.

They look great, especially considering your choice of using a difficult wood. What are you going to use for a finish since they will literally be handled a lot?

Either polyurethane or shellac. Not really sure which yet. I need to test both on some of the scraps to see which one is less likely to enhance the burn marks.

You did mean those special additions to the pieces rather than burn marks, didn't you?

Not burn marks....Those are embellishing features, character additions,
marks of being hand made. :wsmile:

Tell everyone it is the coloring you got from the burl. Each piece is unique. Then tell them to Google burl. :wsmile:
