Ebony Wood Chessmen
Ebony is a richly dense and heavy wood used for the production of high end items. It is a scarce and costly wood that has been valued since ancient times. The inner part of the tree is the best part as this is where the wood is the most fine-grained while containing the darkest and strongest portion of the tree. It is this part of the tree where all of Chess Forma’s ebony chess pieces and chess boards are made! Chess pieces made from ebony wood are jet-black in color and are often polished to a beautiful sheen! Newly polished ebony sets often “shimmer” in appearance!
Ebony is by far one of the most difficult woods to work with because it is extremely dense and the crafting of ebony chess pieces are usually reserved to only a master craftsman having the ability to accomplish such a task. It is for this reason that you will find the majority of Chess Forma’s ebony chess products among the high end category.
