Our first set destined to Switzerland. Switzerland!! Always super exciting to tick off another spot on the planet where our artistically restored Chess Schach sets have found new homes. I’ve never thought to tally up how many different countries our collectors reside in, but here they are - we now stand at 18 and counting!

Canada, England, New Zealand, India, Scotland, Slovakia, U.S.A., Brazil, Holland, Australia, Italy, Mauritius, Romania, France, Ireland, Germany, Austria and SWITZERLAND!

Thank you kindly to all the discerning collectors who reside in these wonderful countries and continually support and encourage my artsy tinkerings.

Subtly antiquing these ivory pads. A splash of walnut danish oil in some turps and Bob’s your uncle. The board is the trick. This is a smooth as ice. It’s as old as the Chess Schach…and the aged feel just feels right, right!?

TIP a the day to ya:
If you’re mixing your own shellac flakes use a broad based plastic container. The skinny laying down took 4 weeks to turn, while the correct container took around three days. Good job I’m a patient man! ;)

Some sneaky snaps of a set that came my way recently via the most gentlemanly of collectors, Chuck Grau. I must admit, I was slightly scared of removing that hideous, day-glow yellow paint, as you just never know what you’re gonna find under the hood, so to speak!

Actually, there WERE some eyebrow-raisers along the way, but with a generous slice of Chess Schach TLC, I believe they’ve been transformed into quite an attractive, artistically restored Smyslov set.

More pics to follow…
