Great looking chess set and lot of work went into it!
Very nice looking set Allan. I know how much time and patience went into turning this. I have turned two sets and also used Mike Darlows book for inspiration.
Nice board too, I like how you did the corners.
Very nice work Allan.
Some great work Allen, been thinking of making a set for my Son. Made him a gaming table over the winter and it included a chess board. He only has a commercial plastic set at the moment. Again, these look great.
Jame, if I remember correctly you turn pens. Check out Mike's book. Thanks to all who have taken the time to look and comment.

Chess sets are fun. Find a design you like. I also have a Pinterest board where I tagged a lot of pictures as I was researching https://www.pinterest.com/mikepeace356/chessmen/

Nicely done Allan!
