The wood I used is basswood, and I buy it in 1x1x6 inch blanks. I simply cut the 6-inch blank down into several 1.5" sections using a handsaw.
These blanks make your entire chess set very easy to measure and keep consistent, and if you'd like to buy your own, you can check them out in the link below. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! This has been really helpful. I was trying to carve a little chess rook to offer to my brother for Christmas but I didn't know how to do it. Thank to you I am now pretty happy with the results.

I think your on to something with the Chess pieces. For a beginner they are pretty simple shapes to carve & a real confidence builder and for someone who is more skilled they are just plain good practice. Good series :)
