Is it a ok to use Alabaster stone to carve chess pieces?
I've seen this guy in the catalogs and on the web, turning Alabaster stone on a lathe,making all kinds of things like, vases to candle cups. So I''m thinking that I can do the same with chess pieces. And if it is ok, then dose anyone know any links to go and place an order?
you can use alabaster to make chess pieces
you can use marble to make chess pieces
these pieces might look good for a display - but its NOT recommended for regular games
(a piece might get dropped or cracked or broken)
(www. the chess store. com)....i know they have marble, but you can ask them about alabaster pieces
