Description
While wood playing cards have been around for quite some time, having one made from 5 different species of wood veneer is a bit unusual. I have a mild fascination with the art on playing cards, so I had to do it in wood. Before the modern incarnation of "King of Hearts", the cards were depictions of figures from history.
The traditional Paris court card name for the King of Hearts, is the Biblical King David. The suit of spades means "swords" from the Italian spada and the sword which he holds is that of Goliath, whom David slew. So these were in fact, depictions of royalty, persons from history. -YoPedro
