Default INSPIRATION - Josef Hartwig 1924 Chess Set

You may think it looks a bit strange, but this guy was aa actual
woodworker, and or woodcarver, and apparently pretty well known. It's a
Hell of a lot more normal than what those so-called "artistes" made. At
least you can easily tell which piece is which.
