Good googly moogly—that’s a piece or art! There sure is a lot of creativity and workmanship in the set. I’m always amazed at the talent of the folks on this sit.

I’m going to have to show my brother this set – he loves chess and probably would like something like this. (Although I would not volunteer to make it—way above my skill level!)

Very impressive! Great imagination and design for a traditional piece. Very whimsical, it would be deserving of a magazine or gallery showing. It makes me think of Alice in Wonderland II. Have you been sniffing too much saw dust? Keep up the creativity!
