Loving how bright the blue is on this one. For a T2 Bus.

It’s a horizontal skateboard gear knob, shouldered, flat top, engraving and satin finish 👌🏻

Smoked oak and ash chequered, full ball with a satin finish gear knob.

Alignment on this is on point! Really like the wood combo, nice high contrast.

Also for anyone who is interested in buying a set with a box for peices and a board we are talking around £4500.

Anyone who is wondering the scale it is a 100mm (4 inches) king so it is a big set.

All in all a fun project excited for the next one.

@magnus_carlsen want one? 🤣

[Simon Basil @BuiltByBasil]

Recycled skateboard chess set all done so happy with it!

Would not have been possible if it was not for David @dedwooddesigns. He made the board and the blocks for the peices that I turned.

Also want to make the slit on top of the rooks larger and on the bishop.
Got to hand it to @palaceskateboards for their awesome all black boards (if you see this fancy a collab?)
