Wild Cherry and Ceramic Tile Chess Board (August 1995)
| This Chess Board
is made of wood from a Wild
Cherry tree that I cut down. The logs were allowed to air dry for nearly a year before sawing it into rough boards and another 3 years before it was planned to size to make a night stand. This piece was made out of some of the scraps some years later. |
