Forest Chess Set - Log and Mushroom Chess Board - Acorn Checkers
Don't have a 3D Printer? My models print great with These Printers (affiliate)
This design was made in collaboration with Gazzaladra
A Log that unrolls into a chess set? This log is a great decorative piece that doubles as a rolled-up chessboard. Remove both end caps to reveal the unique mushroom-themed chess pieces and wood-colored board. You can even use the end caps as coasters when you're playing your match.
The chess pieces are stored inside the chess board in two sets, colored to match the board.
Botany Test? The mushrooms and log are all photoscans of real plants! Below are the names of the plants so you can test your Botany skills
Log: Pine Tree Pawn: Penny Bun Rook: Shiitake Bishop: King Trumpet (yes, we made the King trumpet the bishop) Knight: Yellow Morel Queen: Fly Agaric King: Chanterelle
