|  More Chesspieces and A Business Card Holder Here are the latest. I worked on finishing and got three more pieces cut over the weekend. Between errands and the saw breaking down, it's going to take me a year to cut all the pieces. I put a new Delta QuickClamp-II on my saw and it lasted all of 10 minutes before it broke and sent pieces all over the garage!!! Anyway, here are my kings, knights, and a business card holder made out of spalted maple. The Rook is designed after the Canterbury castle ruin in england and is made from canarywood. |

| Sweet, that is going to be one fine piece when you get it finished. I'm looking forward to seeing a picture of the finished product. |

| Really nice. The spalted maple clock business holder is beautiful. Question. Is that dust on the chess pieces or what?

| Yes that is dust. That was my first experiment with Danish oil and I soaked them each for about 30 min. This is a day after so there is some drying that has taken place. Since that time I've dunked them again and they also have gotten two coats of Polyurethane.

| Nice cutting Jim! I have finished the mahogany set of your Notre Dame pattern and am really liking the way they are coming out. I have to mill the walnut for the other set, maybe tomorrow if I can get some time between meetings. Obviously I have not done any finish work on them yet, I will do both at the same time. And no, I know nothing about chess and I know they are not in the right order, they are just sitting around waiting on being finished!!  mahogany1.jpg

| Those look fantastic. The rook and the pawn I had not even cut yet. The Rook looks even better than I thought it would. You have done a masterful job cutting them and I look forward to the finish. Way to go!!!
