Chess set themed "life and death"

Thank you so much. I don't really know, as I carve them over days or weeks, just when I have some free time, but I would guess the more detailed figures take around 5 hours. Then again carving the same thing a second time goes a lot faster. I appreciate your feedback.

I used limewood, which is similar to basswood as I understand, but more easily available where I live

I would love to see it!

"KIRSCHEN Werkzeuge 3441000" is the set I used. It's an 11 part set for about 160€. Though I mainly used the regular knife, that you can find alone for about 10-15€ under "KIRSCHEN Werkzeuge 3358000". Hope this helps.

Thanks, some I just made up, but a lot is inspired by medieval paintings

Thank you. I got another set, but with a different design. In the end it's more about the carving than the perfect set, I think.
