The chess set pictured below is the second one that i have attempted. The first set i finished almost ten years ago, and although i loved the result, carving thirty two individual pieces can be tiresome, especially since there are sixteen pawns. With that in mind, I decided to start this new set by carving the pawns first because they are the most time consuming. I'm also trying to design pieces in such a way that they will be faster to produce.
I decided to use walnut wood for the black pieces because it is one of the darker woods that i have access to. Particularly after being stained with walnut oil, the pieces will turn a darker shade of brown. I still have not selected the wood to be used for the white pieces.
