The wood I used is basswood, and I buy it in 1x1x6 inch blanks. I simply cut the 6-inch blank down into several 1.25" 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!

Excellent work! You should do a sanding and polishing series. Maybe paint as well? (Or just lacquer/varnish)🎉😊
