Pretty nice!

Very nice job! What finish did you use on the pieces? Also have a look at my chess pieces, I’m a series of all the oopses, one blog for pawns, rooks etc, I’m very close to finally being happy with them to do a whole set.

Very nice. Great job of turning. They are very consistent.

This project is very well done. Not an easy subject to do. Yours turn out very nice.

Tom,

This is a gorgeous project. I really like the combination of walnut and maple. Between posts like this, the bowls and pens I am beginning to realize what a void I have in my woodworking by lacking a lathe. I am sure that this project was not an easy one to complete but you have done a masterful job.

Thanks for the post.

What an excellent chess set. Really beautiful.

The set is beautiful. How long did this project take?

The board is great, and the pieces are even more impressive! Fantastic job!

Really nice looking chess board I’m in the process of making a drafts board What type of finish did you use , And make sure you get some use out of it these things should be treasured

It’s hard to say how long it took because I only worked on it at my leasure, but over all about 3 weeks. The finish was wipe on poly because the pieces seemed too difficult to spray.

You did a fine job on this.
