Remember the 3D chessboard I made a while ago? Now the chess pieces
Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)
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.
