Of Knights and Chess - luv2shave - 07-06-2021 I found this video on makingof  wooden Chess men for world tournaments. Very fascinating to see for those who admire good wood working. Especially Jayaruh RE: Of Knights and Chess - GAW9576 - 07-06-2021 Cool video. Thanks for sharing luv2shave. RE: Of Knights and Chess - TobyC - 07-06-2021 Hand carved doesn't mean what it used to, as usual, vintage kicks arse! Carved in ivory, these figurines depict Vishnu's 10 'avatars' from Hindu Mythology. This artifact, which is displayed in the National Museum (New Delhi) is from around late 18th Century south India. RE: Of Knights and Chess - TobyC - 07-06-2021 Wow! RETICULATED BALL, CHINA, 19TH CENTURY. THE RUBIK’S CUBE OF THE ANCIENT WORLD Chinese puzzle balls are ornate decorative items that consist of several concentric spheres, each of which rotates freely, carved from the same piece of material. RE: Of Knights and Chess - Jayaruh - 07-06-2021 That's pretty cool. I have made a few Queen brush handles. I got this chess set back in 68. I have passed it on to my youngest son. https://jayaruh.blogspot.com/2012/09/ivory-chess-set.html
