Cutting chess pieces out of a Hazel wood blank has become a bit more of a challenge than I thought it might be. As you can see in this photo, the King turned out fine, but the Queen didn't quite make it. The blank began to shudder as I was putting the final touches on her head, then it snapped in two, leaving the Queen's head stuck to the bottom of the King. As soon as I told this story to Great Grumpy he said, "ah, that would be Henry VIII." Today I will try again, only this time I will cut only one piece at a time from the blank.
