This is a chess set I gave to my son Spencer as a college graduation gift.
The chess board is Maple and Sapele veneers over Baltic Birch plywood.The frame is maple and sapele with applied brass corners. The case is Maple for the sides, and Walnut for the bottom molding.
I was commissioned to build this for a friend from college days. She in turn had a friend who's teenage son died quite unexpectedly. The young man loved the saxaphone.
This is a three generation piece. My dad made the walnut footstool. His dad-Herbert Young (my Grampa Young) made the walnut and maple chess board, and I turned the chess pieces from broom poles when I was about 20.
Bathroom Remodel. A total remodeling of our bathroom.
This Cherry Slab was just Installed as a Countertop for a Kitchen Island in a Kitchen Remodeling Project.
I built a walnut countertop for some clients a few years ago. These clients are building a new house in Bloomfield Hills . The kitchen island calls for a 48"by 94" solid Walnut Countertop.
