I have carved the chess pieces and the small wooden chest of mahogany and lime tree.
I have sketched the patterns by myself.
Model was a Gothic cathedral
It`s a typical carving.

Mahogany and lime-tree are especially well for carving.

If I find!
The other wooden chest is of elm wood.
This is a "magic chest"

Beside my work as a sculptor carving are a nice hobby

From John:
"Dear woodworker,

Let me take a wild guess. You've spent hundreds of dollars or even more on your woodworking projects - it took you a LOT longer than you thought, or maybe you even called it quits because you kept getting your measurements wrong. "
