Chess Set Notes |
Sheesham, often referred to as "golden rosewood", is common to India and is widely used to manufacture
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.
