Nothing makes for a perfect game of chess more than a sturdy, strikingly beautiful set of pieces. Unfortunately, because there are so many options available for purchase on the internet, it can often be difficult to figure out what pieces are right for you, and how to keep them looking nice for years to come. Read on for a little detail on wood variations and caring for your pieces:
What Types of Wood are Available?
There are many different varieties of wood. Here's a brief explanation of each of the main wood types available:
Sheesham
Extremely abundant in India, sheesham wood comes as one of the most economic wood options. The attractive grain and high density of the wood make it very popular and widely used.
Boxwood
Originating from the boxwood tree, this type is the most common among chess pieces. The color and grain tends to be limited in variation.
Ebony
One of the most-desired, luxuries types available for standard wood pieces. Ebony is a very dense and heavy wood, and when polished can take on a deep black appearance.
Ebonized
Be sure to recognize the difference between ebony and ebonized wood pieces. Ebony is the real deal - an actual black, valuable, dense wood. Ebonized pieces are a different wood (often boxwood) that has been lacquered or darkened so as to look and feel similar to ebony pieces.
Rosewood
The deep, rich brown with reddish grains of the Rosewood makes it among the most elegant of wood types for chess pieces.
Red Sandalwood
Deeply grained and even more reddish than rosewood, red sandalwood is hard, dense, and ideal for premier pieces.
Looking for a great place to buy wood chess pieces? I've found that Wholesale Chess has a great collection of Rosewood, Sheesham, Boxwood, and Ebony Wood Chess Pieces.
