this one is interesting too, but there's almost no info provided. altho the pic is pretty sharp, it is difficult to tell what the pieces are made out of - they have more of a homemade look to them, so i'm guessing they are painted wood, but just from looking at them, they could be a variety of substances. the big problem with this page is that there is just one photo, we could use some closeups of these pieces. <P> also, i am very curious about the board. is it homemade, or was it bought somewhere? i have had zero success finding a nice 10x10 or 12x12 wood board - or any other size other than 8x8, but 10x11 seems especially unusual to me.
