Last night, my brother came over to visit me. He has a woodworking business, Krema Designs, and he is trying to get started and get his name out there right now, so I was helping him work on some promotional materials in Photoshop. Then he says to me, “Hey, you should quit playing with this toy and go out into the living room and play with your new toy.” I was confused, as I really haven’t bought anything recently. He tells me again to go out into the living room, so I do and find this beautiful hardwood chessboard on my coffee table! I was ecstatic!
He made it completely by hand, made of maple and oak! He wanted to give it to me for the help I have given him in starting his business! I wouldn’t have accepted money, but this? Oh yeah, you know I’ll take this. 
Really, it’s pretty amazing. The pictures don’t do it justice at all! He is now working on 2 exotic wood chessboards for a show he has next weekend. I can’t wait to see them!
