Staunton chess set

[jonathanjo (Jonathan)]

Hi All

Completed my chess set

The style is based on the original Staunton design, traced from the photo in Wikipedia

The original knight is supposedly based on those from the Parthenon but I have a different one.

I’m thinking of a new knight based on Guernica but it seems to clash too much.

It’s 3 mm ply, board is engraved, black pieces spray painted.

Many thanks to @lasertechs for teaching me how to use the laser cutter.

Kind regards to all,
J.

Awesome! Are you happy for this to be shared on Social Media for some #troteclove ?

Peter – thanks for asking, certainly post the photos; it’s intended to be a cheap and quick way to get a nice chess set. J.

A Guernica styled set would be interesting!
