2 new designs...


i am almost done with 2 of my new designs....i thought i'd give you blog readers a sneak peek...i still have to finish the woodwork - sanding and then adding another coat of wax, but this gives you an idea of the coloration and design...i'll be adding another new checker board next week too...they have as yet to be named; eli and i are still shooting ideas around...
these are limited edition pieces - i have decided that all future game board designs will be limited to 30-40 pieces only. this way they will be available for 1 or 2 years and then can make room for more new designs....
i am not able to date these boards - most of my reproduction designs are from the late 1800's with the texas star chinese checker board being the youngest at 1930. My guess is the smaller board on the left is from the late 1800's and the larger parcheesi is from around 1930.
