A handmade chess board from Rich Karlis.

I kicked for the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings in the 1980's. After a long corporate career managing CenturyLink's sponsorship portfolio I've decided for my third career to turn my love of wood into creating a unique collection of wood products. Growing up in my father's business I fell in love with wood while sanding large gym floors. Nothing is more beautiful than a newly sanded gym floor. Kicking field goals in the NFL requires precision, patience and resilience. Woodworking requires the same.
