   Hello Shawn!   
      
   ** On Monday 22.03.21 - 11:13, you wrote to me:

   Sounds like a nice project.   
      
   As far as I know, piano keys have always been made with wood and     
   laminated with ivory and now plastic.   
      
   A carved king/queen would only have the white on one side.      
   Ideally, you might like two keys that you can place back to back     
   (each one cut thinner?  ..or remove the white part from one key     
   and put it on the other?) so that you have the white on two     
   opposite sides for one chess piece?

   There was a period of time when I had accumulated hundreds of     
   pounds of magazines and newspapers in just a handful of years.     
   There's probably still even more stuff that I could "release" to     
   the dump.
