Final Muskoka Chair "ChessMaster"

Taking it outside to varnish, but I'm likely not going to have time to varathane. Will have to coherse someone else into helping with this aspect.  Oh and try not to notice the messy studio area; will look at that after I come back from a few days in Ottawa.

Chair is going to be late ... sigh.

But I'm working on it, I swear. Just finishing the Queen on the back now, then have to varnish. Will have to call Kathleen and ask her when I can deliver it to her ... will need that extra couple of days to finish.

Seat Finished, Starting on Back

Have finished the seat icons, and am now moving on to the Queen on the back of the chair. Actually, I might have to paint the arms now, simply to give the seat a chance to dry before painting the back of the chair.

New Board, small 10x10"

Hmm Mostly Finished

So I'm mostly finished and am just getting to posting now. Still have the white border to finish, but am hestitating as the original plan was to take this on Wednesday to New York with me, so that I could play a few times with my friends down there over the weekend. But if I do paint the border, or niggle any more, it won't be touch dry and I'll have to forget the whole idea. Sigh. Decisions, decisions. It's probably too big to take on a plane anyway, I suppose. And I'm havng a problem deciding what to bring, and I'd need larger pieces if i take this board ... but I've not finished the smaller board that was my second option ...

Doesn't it just annoy one when people waffle? I'm waffling; annoying even myself. I need new shoes to go to NYC anyway, and a really small hairdryer. I should go out into the world, even though I don't really feel like it. It's snowing again, which is kinda pretty I suppose.

Work in Progress

New chessboard currently in progress. Oil on wood, and wasn't able to finsih it this weekend (started yesterday).
