My board gaming friends here had a good-bye "do" for me on Sunday. I figured we'd do the usual: play games, chat, eat, enjoy. And of course we did all those things.
But my friend Lenny had a surprise in store for me. He and Matt are both millwrights. Lenny took it upon himself to create me a gorgeous handmade chessboard. It's about 2 x 2 feet. The squares are maple and walnut, and it has a wonderful bloodwood border. It's also inscribed. Many said that they would make it into a table. Or I could hang it on the wall. It's simply unbelievably beautiful. Lenny and Matt work together in their day jobs. Gericke (Matt's wife, also a friend, and my cat transport person) informed me that Lenny made it and Matt supervised and performed quality control.
There's a great story and photos posted on boardgamegeek.
