Doug, I'll second Ron's nomination of Hugh's work. Fixing the originals would be sweet.

However, I think the repros can be whipped into submission if you want a backup pair. I'd establish the goal for dimension of the desired thickness, then work the pattern and border down to meet it. It may be that they are so thick that it would be necessary to remove the existing work and lay in and execute new checkering and border entirely--but if one kept track of the dimensions and orientation of their original checkering, even that would not be a problem.

I'll do either for $50. Then you can finish 'em up any way you like.
