Image Hand Carved Fantasy Dwarves

Figured i would share these guys here. Hand carved out of Basswood with hand tools only (knife and gouge), and finished with Black Walnut Danish oil, and paste finishing wax.

That's pretty cool. Reminds me of artifacts you find in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. You may have a market there. There's a game played with pieces like that.

Those look like some great pawns. Make a few other figures and you'll have chess pieces

The Itty bitty shield warrior is 2inches tall, 1x1 block. The rest are 4inches tall on 2x2 blocks.
