Reply:Man that beautiful!!!!! I'm a chess F-A-N-A-T-I-C too!!!! (Anybody up for "Chess with Friends?  ....It's an iPad/Phone APP.) A few questions..... On the first chess board, it looks like you used some sort of metal chess board.  On the second chess board, it looks like you used wood. If you did in fact use metal, what two types did you use?Also, did you clear coat the chess pieces to keep their "metal" luster look? Again, BEAUTIFUL WORK!!!!!

Reply:Originally Posted by ironheart_ramHi.. on the first chessboard i used squared cut-aluminum foil and the other parts were plainly painted with black then topped it with clear resin to make it look like theres a glass on top..on the second board i used recycled narra parquet old flooring then coated it with polyurethane..i made series of chess boards - 3 sets to be exact and as much as possible make sure that each board has its own distinctive  design to avoid similarities..The chess pieces were dry painted by hand then coated it with 4 coats of polyurethane....MARIO
