Oops! The St. John statue was 14’ tall…not 14". Same process as the chess pieces though.

Jim,

Your carving is really impressive! (I know how much time and skill it takes since my husband carves, too.)

Your chess sets are certainly unique. With so many people obsessed with sports, they should be highly sought!

Do you use a chainsaw for your larger carvings?
