davidinedinburgh Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I have been playing a lot of chess recently and thought I would try making my own pieces. I am still testing out various designs and woods None of what are shown are the finished article The clenched fist for the Rook (stronghold...hmm) and the praying hands for the Bishop are my ideas although probably already dreamt up elsewhere The other designs are based on / influenced by what I've seen on the Web The King and 2nd Bishop are based on the Lewis Chess Men. Great fun and very satisfying I hope you like them too David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
