Yep... can be boring at times...

I'll have to work on some other things and only work on it once in a while.

For now, I have 4 blanks prepared for the Pawns, 2 for each side. I will need to correct the size of the bases once they're all finished. Still a lot of work to do on them, but I don't have any deadline to respect before I can finish them. Once the 16 blanks are prepared, the real fun will begin.

The score is now 4 pieces completed, 4 pieces started, and... 24 more to go...

So here is what I have so far.

Now 'scuse me, but I need to do a couple of boots and Santas for Xmas. As I am a slow carver, I should begin right away if I want to be ready for Xmas...

I also would like to be able to make the board to place the pieces every time one is finished carving. It think it would be more motivating that way.
