I tried making a chess set once.  I decided to start with the knights, because if I couldn't do the knights, I couldn't make a chess set.  I don't remember what ever happened to that bizarre, jackal-like monstrosity, but I ended up being glad to part with cash to get something decent.

I don't think I ever could have managed to turn all the pieces sufficiently like each other to do a presentable job either.  Making lots of identical turnings is really hard.  Making itty bitty turnings is really hard too.

Having said all that, one single rook that is at least a reasonable facsimile of your other pieces might, remotely, be a possibility.  Why don't you start with some good photos.

Here in Amsterdam we have a Chess shop that buys second-hand broken or incomplete Chess sets, and then sells the pieces individually for 50 cents a piece.

Perhaps they have something similar where you live.

I think you can order replacement chess pieces from the company that makes the chess set.

Hmmm. Sorry, have a lot of spares, but not in brown.
