Choosing the wood for a chessboard and chess pieces

Wood is an essential material, used by humankind for centuries. We are in an era where, for the first time, it is becoming scarce and threatened. Obviously, some woods are more precious than others. Ebony and Brazilian rosewood, for example, are increasing in value as stocks dwindle. Choosing the right type of wood for your chess set can be difficult. Here is a list of the different types of wood used in chess set manufacturing:

• Walnut Chessboards and Sets : Walnut wood is a rare and highly valued wood, used not only for chess sets but also for all kinds of high-end handcrafted items. Walnut is a very durable wood, allowing a beautiful chessboard to withstand the test of time. Walnut chessboards are the most common on the market. Walnut wood has shades of red, yellow, and purple.
• Chessboards and chess sets made of maple wood : Maple is an easy wood to work with. There are several types of maple. In Europe, it has a honey-colored hue, while those originating in America tend more towards pink. Chessboards made of maple wood are recognizable by their light and bright color.
• Rosewood chess sets , palisander chessboards : All these woods refer to the same species of tree: Sheesham. Sheesham chess sets are very common and are considered rare wood chess sets . A polished and waxed rosewood chessboard is very aesthetically pleasing.
• Chessboards and chess sets made of boxwood : Boxwood is a very light-colored wood, used primarily for the white squares of chessboards. Boxwood chess pieces are also common. However, it is rare to find a complete chess set made entirely of boxwood.
• Ebony Chess Sets and Boards : Ebony chess sets are considered high-end. Ebony is a dark wood with light grain. Thin and hard, ebony is also highly valued in the making of musical instruments.
• Redwood chess sets : Redwood is quite similar to rosewood, but it is slightly more durable and its stain tends towards red. Redwood chessboards are fairly rare, as redwood is primarily used for making chess pieces.
• Chess sets and chessboards made of briar wood : Briar wood, or heather root, is used exclusively for the manufacture of luxury chessboards. The wood's natural grain curls and twists, resulting in a beautiful appearance on the chessboard.
• Mahogany chessboards and sets : Mahogany wood has a reddish, slightly pinkish hue. Its grain is particularly dense with a solid structure containing very few knots. Mahogany chessboards are considered to be of very high quality. However, mahogany is not used for making chess pieces.
• Chessboards and chess sets made of beech wood : Beech is a wood widely found in Europe, making it a natural choice for European chess set manufacturers. It is a solid wood used in the production of many objects, including chessboards and chess pieces.
• Chessboards and chess sets made of birch wood : This is a medium-quality wood but extremely versatile. It grows in Europe, its color is pale, and birch wood chessboards allow European manufacturers to sell chess sets at a low cost.
