#tbt to these awesome 3’ tall chess pieces I turned on the lathe, really itching to do some more of these someday! The fun part here was carving both crowns, especially the king’s being a solid piece. Carving out those slots allowed me get really creative with the process!
The throne chairs are taking some good shape, doing a little mock up before glue to make sure everything looks right. These are gonna be pretty sweet! How do you think they’re coming out so far?

Finished up the top side of the 7’ round claro walnut sunburst! @gl_veneer did an amazing job on the two pieces to make the circle, I need to get this thing on the base ASAP!🤤 What do you think about this one?

The claro base is almost complete! One more 36” circle for the top side and then it’s finish time. How much do you think this base weighs? Bottom circle is 46” OD for reference. 🤙🏻

I need some steel & saw marks in my life, don’t get me wrong using all of this Claro Walnut is such a pleasure, but I really enjoy building with rough sawn lumber too, it’s super fun seeing the old wood come to life like this table and bench build!
