This set is incredible. Truly inspired to see the marriage of my two favorite things. Hope to own something like it one day. Life goals! Maybe even a table to match! Great job, thanks for sharing!

Oh snap, that’s too perfect. I’m itching to make a set through cpc now if the price is right. Wife says we can get a table when we get a bigger house. I like the tables triton has. If only I was on this forum a year ago I had the answers to your giveaway right in my head. Maybe if I decide to make a set I’ll incorporate the four fundamental forces of nature or the 5 Platonic solids! Just so it will be unique and not ripping off your genius set!

I finally had a chance to take some more photos, so I figured I'd give a little background and post some pr0n for my new CPC set.

Initially, I was resistant to designing a CPC set. @Rhodeman77, @Perthmike, and @detroitdad continued to twist my arm, but my concern was that I wasn't going to be able to create anything nearly as nice as their awesome customs, which are some of my favorites on PCF. Eventually, as with all things chipping, I succumbed to their wishes.

I needed a theme, and quickly settled on science, which has always been an interest of mine. I wanted something a little out of the box and as interesting as science is to me. I wanted each of the denominations to represent a different scientific principle, phenomenon, or discovery, and @Perthmike suggested that the base colors and spots could be chosen to physically represent those concepts. Challenge accepted!

I bounced a ton of mockups off of @Perthmike, @detroitdad, and @Rhodeman77 (to be completely accurate, @Perthmike also created a ton of them but he can't help himself). And @p5woody did a great job with the inlay design. I appreciate all of their help. For the inlay, I wanted a parchment paper/Da Vinci sketch feel, and after a while came to the conclusion that I was going to need original artwork to accomplish that objective.

Fortunately, my brother in law was a video game artist, so he is used to creating detailed art in a very small area. I worked with him for several weeks on the artwork, and I'm thrilled with what he created!

Now, on to the pr0n! I hope you enjoy!

Some of you have already asked me about sample sets. I expect I will have a few available once I sort through everything. Stay tuned!

Such a tough matchup. If somehow you could have got your theme to work with shaped inlays it wouldn't be such a tight race

I think shaped inlays would have take away from the design. Not all sets should have them. I know I'm in the minority. I find shaped inlays to be distracting

They have a place. Hornet's I think would have taken away from the set, but Ryan's they add to it. It's a 'it depends on the set composition thing'.
