Buys wife present that ends up your own present.
Genius!
Actually, my intent was for her and I to do it together. It's pretty much mindless and I thought it would be some good bonding time, yeah I'm such a bad husband.

Nah, a bad husband would have bought her a vacuum cleaner. You did good!

Update:

Okay, start to finish it was a total of 25 hr. The size is about 14"x14". If it wasn't for the fact it's winter and I am taking a few weeks off from the gym, I would never have had the time to try this.

Now I have to see about framing it. I do my own wood working so short of buying the glass, I can handle that.

My lame attempt at doing the time warp again, the original Snake. The conventional two dimensional game of Chess is complicated enough to challenge Grandmasters, yet you can find 3 dimensional chess games for sale on the Net. No idea why, or if any serious players even bother. Guessing it would take days for any Grandmaster to stop laughing at the idea of a FOUR dimensional game.

I have enough trouble concentrating on one board. When people ask me, Do you play chess? I say, I know enough to move the pieces and smart enough to not call that one piece The Horse.

Ok the project is completed.

Now for all you peckers saying the Ol' Snake has gone soft, that frame is one I made from an old oak tree I fell, cut planks, milled and profiled myself. Oh and you Eagle Haters, enjoy the Super Bowl. lol
