Kurobey chess set



This chess set is modeled on my share mate dog,Kurobey.
Material is Japanese ceder,which found at building site as a junk. So maybe it includes hinoki.
Chessboard was made from an old table,I repainted it and drew checker patterm.
Making some chess set had improved my carving skill,so I challenged to make various pose of Kurobey.
Knight piece isn't a riding horse, but a pose of dog's mounting.Bishop piece is a pose of dog's marking.
Rook piece as kennel,developed from earlier design of Doggy chess set.
The 8way pattern of bitten ball describes Queen piece,and the cross pattern of flying disk describes King piece.
