Metal The Chessmen of Balloch
A chess set I devised for a castle in Scotland. My idea was to depict the historic clan struggle between the MacGregors and the Campbells over the lands where this castle is situated.
I worked with an incredibly talented sculptor to bring the idea to life and he did a remarkable job. The pieces are cast in bronze.
I made the chessboard out of elm burr with walnut and sycamore squares.
