AFTER PAINTING EACH INDIVIDUAL PIECE I ADD SEVERAL COATS OF A SELF HARDENING HIGH GLOSS LACQUER FOR AN ADDED "SHINE" AND TO PRESERVE AND HARDEN THE PIECES FOR ADDED PROTECTION.
THE CHESS BOARD IS DESIGNED BY MYSELF (IN THIS INSTANCE I HAVE USED A POPULAR POSTER FROM THE AVALON BALLROOM CONCERT) AND PRINTED OUT ON A HIGH GLOSS PAPER, WHICH IS THEN ENCASED PROFESSIONALLY BETWEEN TWO SHEETS OF 1/4" GLASS, WHITH THE DIMENSIONS BEING 14" X 14".
