- Self-Improvement
Today we are going to speak with our friend Brad Borkowski a.k.a. the Colorado Woodworker from United States. Brad is a high school woodshop teacher based in Colorado Springs. Since 2013, he's run a successful store on Etsy in his spare time selling beautiful, handcrafted chessboards. After the release of Netflix's The Queen's Gambit, his sales skyrocketed!
His unique design includes various types of luxury hardwoods that he commonly uses on his custom made chessboards. They are built to be extremely long-lasting. I just ordered one beautiful masterpiece myself.
This is Cristina from Opening Master – the biggest human quality chess database with 9.7 million official chess games, sharing the chess wisdom, education, and great stories around the world. Opening Master is a proud supporter and partner of Colorado Woodworker.
Cristina:
