Drueke is
the premier manufacturer of wood chess sets
and chess boards in
the
United States. All Drueke chess
sets are packaged
together with Drueke's famous
solid
Walnut & Aspen Chess Board.
Ebonized wood
chess sets are very popular for those that
want the traditional look
of Ebony but at a much lower price.
Ebonized chess pieces are
made from high quality boxwood
that has been
stained a very deep
black.
Rosewood wood chess
sets are moderately priced and are
thus the most popular dark wood
for
chess sets. Rosewood
can vary dramatically from a dark brown
to a deep red color
and everything
in between. Rosewood chess pieces usually
feature a beautiful
wood grain that makes every piece
stand out.
Red
Sandalwood is also commonly known as Bud Rosewood.
Red
Sandalwood is
considered one
of the most beautiful
woods for
chess sets with its deep, rich
burgundy color and
soft wood grain.
Red
Sandalwood & Boxwood wood chess
sets are in the
same
price range as Ebony & Boxwood.
Ebony is the most
traditional and striking wood for chess sets. Ebony can vary
from
being pure
black to having a distinct and beautiful wood grain.
For the traditionalist
and for contrast, nothing
can outshine Ebony
& Boxwood wood chess sets.
