Chess Set I just finished - Wood hand cut

[u/PoppysWorkshop]

I finished another hand-cut chess set, my previous set was a venice inspired. This was hand cut on a scroll saw, this one is a neoclassical made from black limba and white limba. I am corking the bottoms now for the final touch. I'll have close to 40 hours in this set.

My one regret is using the polyurethane to finish. I should have stuck with Danish oil for the finish, I think this finish looks too thick.

Very nice. Can you post a pic of the front side of the pieces ?

I added another image to the body of the post of the front. Could not add to the image carousel. Also, I just finished corking the white pieces in this image.
