The unique service I offer is to help you to work through a rough idea for a set, or suggest a few ideas to you, and come up with a workable design for a one-off hand made chess set.
For the example on this page, I worked with my client, communicating via email and sending various designs for the pieces until we were happy with the ones below.
For this set I used the cross section of a tree trunk for the board.
All the wood for this set was found in local parks.
