Forged in fire, Tolley Marney’s chess set is a masterful interpretation of chess pieces as wild animals of North America. His design is inspired by his life spent outdoors, working and playing in the American mountains and deserts, Tolley brought those days under the sun and stars into the feeling of this magnificent series of sculptures which together create the chess set. His time camping and working in National and State Parks inspired the name, ‘Yellowstone”. Finished in early 2023, now available to collectors. Your set includes Tolley’s hand built wood carry chess box and artisanal wood chess board.
