Wooden Chess Pieces

Wooden chess pieces abound in so many varieties, styles, shapes, and woods. Wood has been the most abundant material in the product of the greatest variety of chessmen in the last few centuries. Today, India is the world's largest producer of wood chess pieces. Their craftsmanship ranges from low cost, functional wood chess pieces to the finest sets that retail for thousands of dollars.

We hope you enjoy browsing this wood chess piece collection. We're continually working to source the most reliable and consistent chess piece designs.

If you're looking for a fine set of chessmen, the dark Ebony woods usually rank among the more expensive, yet more desirable. Ebony wood is expensive and usually results in a very dark reddish brown wood that is nearly black.

Ebonized chess pieces are different. To make the distinction from real Ebony, these pieces are nearly the same color and appearance, but have simply been darkened or lacquered to give a comparable look and feel.

Why weighted chessmen?
For most chess players, the weight adds to the desirability of the set of pieces. The weight tends to play better on the board with a more massive feel. They also tend to tip over less easily.
