I finished up the chess pieces for the board I made a month or so ago.  I thought about turning them on the lathe, but since some of them would be extremely small, I went the modern route.  I somewhat copied what this guy did:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW6P9rNeIYk

The wood is white cedar (from an old fence post...never throw ANYTHING out!!!) and some 8/4 cherry leftovers.  I weighted each piece with a 1" pieces of steel.


The style isn't my favorite, but it was fun whipping them out.

Cool! (seventeen)
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

I like the look of it. Do the elevated pieces get high ground advantages?
