Chess Piece

Today I used the lathe tool and splines to create a pawn. I created the outline by drawing with splines along a picture of a pawn, the grouping them to create a full outline. I did this to create an accurate outline for the shape. I then used the lathe to create the full 3d shape and rotate to get it facing the right way.

All in all I think it went well, and the shape holds well to a real chess piece, especially some of the harder edges.
