And now for something completely different

[tiger205]

A few years back now, Tony made this chess set. He made every bit of it himself, used marquetry on the chess box and board and made and handpainted all the figures. I borrowed it from the people who now have it in order to show his sister who had never seen it and I thought it would be nice to show you. The top of it is like glass to touch, yet typically of Tony, he was not satisifed with it.
