Description

Hand Made by the Fadden Family here in Fort McMurray.


This chess set features pieces cut from spruce and cedar woods using a scroll saw technique that achieves 3 dimensional results from 2 dimensional cuts.  The pieces are left as unfinished raw wood, and are intended to take on a patina over time as the set is played.


The accompanying chess board is also constructed from spruce and cedar woods, but has been finished in an oil-based product called Rubio Monocoat to pop the contrast and colours of the board.

Please NOTE:

  • Your chess set will NOT look exactly the same as the pictured chess set!  (The one in the pictures has already been sold.)
  • However, your chess set will be of the exact same design and materials and will feature pleasing pieces of wood that are carefully selected to look good together as a set.
  • Your chess set will be one of a kind, as is the nature of anything made from wood.

Specifications:

  • Pieces measure 1.25″ x 1.25″ at their bases and stand between 2″ tall (Pawns) and 4″ tall (Kings).
  • The board measures 14″ x 14″ and is a substantial ~1.5″ thick.  It stands just above your table’s surface on 4 small rubber feet.
