Well this doesn't entirely answer your question, but have you checked out
the new chess set pieces that Woodcraft has in their new catalog. You turn
the bodies using the pen mandrel and pen barrels. I just thought it was
interesting, and there was no carving involved. I wouldn't mind doing one of
those myself someday. Peace.
