Color & Grain

Ebonized Boxwood
Ebonized is very popular for buyers that want the traditional look of Ebony for their wooden chess set but at a much lower price. Ebonized chess pieces are made from high quality boxwood that has been stained a very deep black.

Rosewood
Rosewood is moderately priced and one of the most popular dark woods for a wooden chess set. Rosewood has a strong wood grain and vary from a dark brown to a reddish brown color.

Red Sandalwood
Red Sandalwood is also commonly known as Bud Rosewood. Considered one of the most beautiful woods for a wooden chess set, Red Sandalwood has a soft wood grain with a deep red to dark burgundy color.

Ebony
Ebony is the most traditional and striking wood for a wooden chess set. Although commonly thought to be pure black, ebony actually has a very subtle and beautiful wood grain.

Boxwood
Boxwood is commonly used in a good to top-of-the-line wooden chess set as the light color. Boxwood has a beautiful light yellowish color with a minimum of wood grain which prevents it competing with the more colorful opposing woods.
