This was one of my more ambitious lathe projects I’ve tried. It was my first try at making multiple pieces that follow the same design. There are of course subtle differences in the pieces, as would be expected, but I’m pretty pleased with how they all turned out. I played around with a few designs before settling on this one. They are made from rosewood and walnut.

I’m not a chess player, but I am very much taken with your project. Very nicely done.

Those look great. Where did you get the tops and bases? Was it a kit?
