Jean-Louis Cazaux,

My pieces just come from a regular plastic set of chess pieces.

The Elephants are Seirawan Elephants.

For the Cannons, I cut off the top portion of the Rooks from a 2nd set (I kept the top of the Rooks to glue on to Knights to make Chancellors).

Finally I drilled holes on the headless Rooks to make them look like Cannons.

Cheers,
Jose
