That's all inlay, right? I'd bet there's over a month of work just in that. That's a really slick piece. Table games need a comeback. I'm making a glass top Carrom board.

    Oooh, can I shamelessly plug my abstract strategy game I'm working on? https://github.com/GreenAnts/Amalgam_Webgame/tree/main

    It's completely free, open source, and licensed to the creative commons. But still in development. (Looking for contributors to help out though if you or anyone else is interested)

    Hello, Yes. I get that you are not the primary source of this image, but it's kind of a crime to ONLY show it folded out. We need to see how this looks when folded up. It's so glorious.

    @PugJesus These were a style. Haven't found a picture of one folded up.

    An intricate Chessboard.
