Chess Set Notes

furniture and other various wood products as well as chess sets. Sheesham, a very hard, affordable wood is
relatively easy to carve and is therefore one of the most popular woods used to make inexpensive chess sets.
The heartwood is described as golden brown to deep brown in color, with darker streaks that give the wood an
attractive appearance.

West Indian boxwood is used to make the white chess pieces. Its texture is very fine and uniform and it has a
generally straight grain with a very high luster. It can be turned on a lathe very easily, and its carving characteristics
are described as excellent. Its coloring is usually a very light yellow brown, with a hint of red tones. All of these
characteristic makes boxwood an excellent choice for white chess pieces.

This chess set is available in three sizes (3", 3-1/2" and 4" king). Each chess piece is weighted, felt padded and
precision-carved. Matching chessboards are optional.
