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.
