Two guys having a great time... Notice Dad making sure they don't break his dining room table. Yes, he would be miffed if they broke off the corner.

We are trying to figure out how to make chess pieces.

Our first attempt is a copy of a French piece from the 1700's.... The wood is Maple from a log we recovered from the lake. The log had been in the lake since probably the late 1800's to early 1900's.

This is the King.
