Several accents and dialects are present in every language, so you shouldn't worry too much about that
You don't reallly wanna know how "modern standard scholarly" Greek is pronounced or (NOT) spoken outside Athens' city limits
By the way, the mixture of classical antiquity and native american place-names in modern-day America is soooo fascinating (probably, if you look from the other side of the fence, even more so). Try Seneca and Cuyahoga Falls

Thanks mate!

An anthem to Democracy for many, a citizen's manual IMO.

I was going to say how much I love these chips. Then I saw that the wooden floor was photoshopped into the pics, and that makes me doubt whether any of it is genuine

The wooden floor was there, as well as the photographer's feet and/or supporting ladder. The latter have definitely been photoshopped out of the pictureI was going to say how much I love these chips.

Congrats for capturing the essence.

Ok - photoshopped feet I can stomach.
Beautiful chips.

I 'll relay your request to the Chief Photographer of the Athenian Polis sir!
I used to be an avid and keen photographer myself way back in the film era, but right now I don't have any serious digital photographic device or any knowledge about how digital crap works.
These chips have the max size inlay of 1&1/16 inch diameter.
Edit: I went with the max size inlays because the majority of the chips are 3TA316 where edge spots are just 3 brush-strokes and do NOT folllow the contour of the inlay. I wanted to cover that natural clumsiness. With 312 or 3V12 spots, which DO follow the contour of the inlay in a circular way, I would have settled for 1in inlays. @Sprouty

Awesome theme, beautiful chips, and great table (y) :thumbsup:
The white with lt blue and maroon are my favorites of this set.

OP
Lt Blue w Maroon is actually the most ancient-ish of all color combos in this set and most prone to be massively re-ordered by the National Archaeological Museum here, creating an artificial deficit for those chips in the international community

Some folks asked me about sample sets, so I asked David at CPC.
Normally, it's too late, but it's never too late if people are willing to cover the company's huge wastage cost, producing very small quantities.
For 10 sample sets (90 chips), shipped to a single mailing address for re-shipping, the cost would be something like $36 per set, or $4 per chip, provided I also order some 45 add-on chips for myself (which I am willing to do if the sample sets are covered).
Post here your interest, so that if there is enough, I start a dedicated thread.

I would be willing to bet you get interest for more than 10 sample sets. I am in for one and am willing to reship if you would like.

In for sample if they become available
Yeah, I really love the color of the 5's. It reminds me of my favorite 5 in my collection.
I love the round table too. Great work!

Members posting here their interest to buy a post-production sample set are eligible for a free sample set giveaway, in case the critical number of 10 members is not attained.
So, with 10 members or more it's going to be a group buy; with 9 or less it's going to be a free raffle for one sample set.
I 'm on vacation now on a barren Aegean rock, so I 'll see what the situation is, come Monday.

Amazing design, epic set. Congrats. I would be in for a sample (shipped to the US).

So guys, with no adequate interest to trigger an admittedly very expensive post-production run, it's going to be a free raffle for a giveaway sample set, between just the six of you who were interested enough to be willing to pay money on the first place.

great set,
Catching up after an extended vacation, and just found this thread. Most beautiful chips!
But the thread brings back a painful memory from childhood, circa 5th grade, when I chose as a project for school to make a model of the Parthenon.
My dad was a hobbyist wood worker and owned a ShopSmith (oldie bonus points if that rings a bell!), but still -- do you have any idea how long it takes a ten year old boy to lathe 69 identical six-inch columns, not to mention the rest of the building?
That was when I learned one of the most important guiding principles of life: Never volunteer.

Haahah, I can sympathise with that! I always received my worst grades at school in art classes, and my worst record ever was trying to re-draw a neo-classical mansion.
Photography and digital design (such as the chip designer tool) have helped naturally impeded folks like me express themselves
