Chess set
HI,
I am interested in making a chess set on my lathe. I have a book by David Springett with a nice pattern but I thought before I committed myself to that I would like to have a look and see what other patterns might be about.
Can anyone tell me of a website - or of a book or two where I could find interesting patterns - for turning of course.
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
The book by William R. Duce, "Fine Art of Small Scale Woodturning" features chess pieces, but I don't know what they are like or if that is what your after.
Have a look at my website under woodturning books for a description, but do go to your local bookshop to buy it (I find Dymocks in the Belconnen Mall have a good range of woodturning books) and support Australian businesses
btw, I am in Canberra myself

Stephen , generally the Staunton pattern is the one used commonly and so is the most recognisable . Of course , some carving will be required too. Your own variations on this pattern are what makes your own set unique.
