Raally nice work. I especially like the detail in the knights.

-- mhawkins2 - why does my wife keep parking her car in my shop :)?

A lot of attention to detail. Looks great. I think if I made a chess set, it would look like a bunch of dowel pins.

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

Simply Stunning !

What greater praise can I offer other than, I’m ready for a game of chess now! Well done, original design too, rare to see that with so many chess sets out there now.

The horse carving is extraordinary! I love your choice of woods too. Do you have information on your homemade lathe? Very impressive results here.

Wow, amazing! I can’t even begin to think about how/ how long it took you to carve those horses. patients is definitely on your side, not to mention the skills!
