I am still working on the design of an Elephant that would blend well with a Staunton set.
I dropped the idea of cylinder symmetry, allowing the piece to consist of a head machined
separately from the base (like most Staunton Knights). The following design seems suited
for manufacturing in a reasonably small number of steps, the main step of the process being the
creation of two cyclindrical surfaces which will contain the eyes, ears and outside tusks.

The model I made has a round backside, but currently I am leaning more to making that flat.

Please tell me what you think of it!
