I was going to recommend this book, but realized that it's more for lathe work than hand carving. There's some stuff in there applicable to carving, though, for the knights and king/queen tops. IIRC, it has some other good tips like proper sizing and weighting of the pieces.

I see there's also a few other books that get good reviews, but I have not personally read these:

The pattern came from this. I picked what I thought would be one of the raiser patterns. I was wrong it was hard.

Yes after they were all cut there many hours of fine sanding with some files and a little sanding strip thing I found at rocker.
