First by making the chess set pieces. Then to add every piece into the actual table and chairs.
1. The top has parquetry around the outer border showing the castle move, were the Rooks protect the King.
2. The table base has the King upside down. Scaled 9 times larger then the chess set King. The King is in the center because he is the most important piece in the game.
3. The Knights are the main four feet to the table legs. Describing their angled moves.
4. Both chairs have on the center top, the Queen's Crown.
5. At the top of both sides of the chairs are the Bishops & Pawns .

It took my a long time. The design of the table and chairs took the longest. I worked on the design for about six months. Posted: 4:33 pm on October 4th
