Scrappile Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Well this is the first one I have seen posted on the Craigslists I look at. Anyone on the west side of Washington? https://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/tld/6035296110.html I also spotted this in Idaho's Craigslist. Ought to make Gator feel good, or maybe he would not sell his for that price. I e-mail and told the poster I couldn't buy it, but as a scroller I thought it was an awful good job. Got an e-mail back in short order. It was the daughter. said her parents were down sizing and had to sell stuff. Her 83 year old father made it. I don't know if he was 83 when he did it. https://eastidaho.craigslist.org/art/6039980828.html Edited March 13, 2017 by Scrappile lawson56 and Scrolling Steve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandaideman Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I have attempted the chess Checker set but never could get the drawers on either side fixed to work. the squares were not square enough for me so after I got the to done I desided to cut squares of Maple and rosewood and glued on top of the ones shown in Pic. I then just put fixed oak on the ends and a little decoration. That was years ago and I may try again some day now that I am more experienced. My opinion this is done well and the amount of work required in it is worth the price if anyone has need of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted March 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 You know Gator, a member here did the chess board. He did an awesome job. Maybe he wouldn't mind showing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) I have that chess set pattern and have had it for many years but never got around to cutting. After seeing this I may just break those patterns out again and have a go at it. Nice price on it. I have a clock pattern or two that I think I will also bring back to life. I may just have to step up the scrolling once again. Edited March 15, 2017 by JTTHECLOCKMAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
