Fantasy Chess Set

[dmatias]

Does anyone have a fantasy chess set pattern? Dragons, magicians, elves, etc. I want to carve a fantasy chess set for my son and am looking for a pattern set.

I don't know of any...but that's a great idea for an article!

Wow. That would be an awesome project. Let me know if you ever find a pattern set!

How would the pieces breakdown?
Pawns - elves
Rook - could still be a castle
Knights - Dragons
Bishop - ??
King - Wizard
Queen - ??

I think that is a great idea also. the only carved chess set that I even know about is buy Berry M. also there are lots of scrollsaw compound cut chess sets. I bet some one will make one for you. pattern that is. have you been to the other forum. the sister one . bet some one there could be helpful also. Evie

Thanks for the link Doris, this is what got me thinking of doing one.

I will probably get pictures and go from there. When I come up with something I will post the patterns. That's if no one has one already.

Deborah, I can send you the pattern for the wizards I used in the mini friendship cane. You can blow them up if you want them larger.

Thanks Wanda, that's a start. I appreciate it.

If anyone has patterns for dragons, knights, elves, golems or any fantasy creature I could just adjust them
