My First Chess Sets

[titchmccartney1]

Hello

 

Cutting out two chess sets. One for my son and one for my nephew. although I have cut this out from cheap pine which is creating me alot of sanding i am really pleased with it which is why i ended up with two. Please let me know what you think of it and ask any questions you like.

 

Thanks

I look forward to seeing what you came up with. Didn't see any links, though. Here's a tutorial on how to attach pictures to a forum post. I hope this helps:

Hi i do like your chess sets, pity you did not cut these from Sycamore or maple and finished them with Danish Oil perhaps next time well done.

Hi Brian

 

I totally agree about cutting the sets from some nice wood and staining. The problem is that it was the first time i have done any 3d scrolling so I did it using some cheap bits of wood i had in my garage. Before I knew it I had cut out lots of pieces and find this very addictive. It seems quite easy to get good results. Then I came across the problem of finishing only to find that I dont like the look of the cheap wood so I decided to paint it. Next time if I make another I will make it from some better stock and stain it.

 

Thanks for your reply

That's great, I have been wanting to make a chess board and set, even though I don't play chess, just looks fun to make. Great work.

Very, very nice! I would never have guessed they were pine.

You did an excellent job! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse
