Default Western Themed Chess Set
Here's a shot of some of the pawns from the upcoming Cowboy Chess Set. Solid, one piece Maple and Walnut. About 4" long by 4" tall by 2" wide. The 'good' guys in white (maple) and the masked desperados in black (walnut). When finished, this set will have lots of horses, lots of guns, cow skulls, and a look not on a chessboard before. Has to be finished by Jan 4...nothing like a deadline to provide motivation!

I'll post some more pics along the way.
