    1 of 32.

    Hey all. I won't bore you with 32 posts, but I wanted to gloat over this bishop which I did on Sunday. I am REALLY a rookie and it took me over an hour to do this 1 piece. I figure that I'll get faster before too long...especially after doing 2 or 3 of the 16 pawns. BTW, this is poplar, or tulip tree. Firewood from a tree in my backyard. No finish applied yet because I want to experiment on scrap first. Then I will finish and part off the block that goes in the chuck.


    Thanks for letting me share.
    Regards,
    Tim B.

    Wow! That came out great! If you didn't tell me what it was I would have known! Definately post the rest as you go - OK, maybe just a group shot of all those pawns!

    I don't venture over here too much since the vortex is so strong , but I'm glad I did. Are you working from patterns or just "by eye". I would love to see how you do the other pieces. Pleas add the rest as you go.
