- In classical chess, rapid chess, or blitz chess... when it comes to the minor pieces... it is hard to beat the long distance power of the bishop pare.I found it interesting to learn that Grand Masters generally prefer to have the long range striking advantage of the bishop over the tricky knights in the middle and end game phases of chess. In this video, I Make the bishops for my giant chess set and do my best to imbue the shapes of these mighty chess men with all the form an elegant power that their station in the board game possesses.
I hope you enjoy watching me turn on the wood lathe. I know I sure enjoy the wood turning process and the chance to make something so classic and iconic :)
Best regards!
Conrad Craft.

Alguém sabe qual é essa madeira utilizada no vídeo?
Awesome work! Any plans to do another set using actual branches of trees sapwood in the middle? (And meant heartwood...)
Otto Lehikoinen Thanks! I have thought about doing such a set. I love the idea of a more naturalistic looking set. Do you have two woods in mind that you think would be perfect for this kind of set?
@@ConradCraft I don't know of woods that would be dark colored enough, sorry.

you waste a lot of woods . Your chess materials is equivalent to an entire tree.
I am guessing you do not make things from wood, do you?
