Over the last few years, I've developed an interest in designing and crafting faux stone chess boards. I recently completed this one for Devon. It's 24" in diameter, 1 1/2" thick and rendered with oil paint on a round birch table top.
If you think you might enjoy owning a customized chess board and find creative collaboration a kick, please contact me at my e-mail address (john555cox@hotmail.com) to discuss details.
