This chess set is yet another one of a kind item. I dare say this chess board may survive a nuclear blast! The board is constructed from 1/8 - 3/16 inch flat and 1/2 inch square pure solid hot rolled steel. Each board square is individually cut, prepped, welded to the steel frame. The board is signed and dated. Simple in design, but carefully crafted. The light squares are polished natural steel. The dark squares are hand painted black. The entire set is coated with clear polyurethane. The pieces are made using .223 caliber bullet shell casings, decorated with cuts, slashes, curls and bends. The light side pieces are set on red oak mounts, using steel cased shells and the dark side pieces are mounted on black walnut, using brass cased shells.
*** Unless I have specified this set to be "in stock", the chess set shown above is a "floor model" so to speak. I make these sets as the orders come in. Any set ordered will be based on the set listed, but it will not be the ACTUAL set listed. So expect minor differences in detail due to the hand made nature of the construction.

***INTERNATIONAL BUYERS - Your country may not allow bullet shells to be imported (this is why we don't automatically offer the sets for sale internationally).

We will review requests for international shipments, individually.
