Rook and handmade horse

Dostal somehow old table chess on a magnetic board began to arrange the figures, but two of them still fall and fall. Why? Because they are special - carved, made for the replacement of lost, but because they do not have a magnet.

I had a friend of the student body, Lech, an avid chess player. But when the study is over all departed, and Lech drove off to Siberia. Although our paths diverged, in memory of him was a gift, the same chess, in which two figures - Rook and Knight - no one knows when and where to get lost in a hostel, I guess.

So, I decided to cut out the missing pieces Chess army of wood. I found in wood a piece of acacia, Like, I do not remember exactly, and began to tinker. Spent a lot of time, a couple of days, and that's what happened, you see. And it was 20 years ago.

Lost boat was black, so I covered the recovered black lacquer, a missing horse - of white and paint this was not at hand. You know what it dyed? Liquid ball corrector!

And I keep it for the glory, just jammed a little bit, so we had to upgrade. On the boat scrapes have not eliminated and they are visible in the picture. We used only an ordinary kitchen knife.

First, like magnets inside the insert, but then changed his mind, afraid that will break until do. Just pasted below the red circle of ribbonsHow to stand on, and leave it at that.

Now, to be honest, not sure that would be enough patience for this fine work, although it may be something else someday carve worthwhile. Time will tell. That's the way I play sometimes and think of Lehi from the Ugra and carefree student years.
