Let’s hear it for craftsmen!

I got my new chessboard………………………sycamore and holly board from Chris Fox of works-in-wood.co.uk, and pyrography art decoration from my mate Si of woodtattoos.com. What a team! I needed a large board with 50mm squares to accommodate my oriental rat set, and had almost given up on getting one, it was only a chance remark to Si - and his willingness to accept a challenge - that got it made! Si put 30 hours of work into the pyrography, and it’s also going to be featured in the last chapter of his imminent book, so fame beckons!

As a small contribution towards the amount of work he put in, his wife Jane now owns ‘Elinore’ - that’s as it should be.
