Merry Christmas! This is a chess set that I made for my brother Zeb. When my brother and I were very young, our father made us a similar chess set and taught us how to play. We loved it! We would play for hours. But somehow over time original set was lost. This is a recreation (as close as I can remember) of the set our father made.

Hey, I got my cutting board. It’s excellent! Thank you so much…who’s gonna claim the second one?

Awesome - glad you like it, Tyler. If it dries out, just give it a good rub with mineral oil. It’s foodsafe and won’t go rancid (like olive or vegetable oil might). I just pour some on, let it soak in for a minute, and then rub the excess off with a paper towel.
If you think of it, send me a photo of the cutting board in action sometime!

I see the beautiful cutting board peeking out from under the chess set. I looks like a finely crafted wooden canoe paddle, ready to cut into the water. Am I a winner?

Some interesting developments have recently occured with the Scavenger Hunt. I need to consult with the Descending Ashtray commitee to determine a winner. We will let you know the results ASAP. Thank you to everyone who participated!

After much consideration we have determined that Sam Pullen is the winner! We feel that Sam was the most specific about seeing the cutting board in the winning post. But keep checking back, there will be more handcrafted prizes to come!

“My heart is drowning in a bucket of boiling tears”.
Maybe I should of been more specific, “Hey look that must be a cutting board underneath that fine looking chest board.” or “Wow, I’ve won I’m a weener. Look at me oooh look at me.”
Fine game gentleman well played. Til next time…
