Canillo - Black and Natural Boxwood with a French Knight  Chess Pieces

This remarkable chess set is carved from both dark and natural shades of Boxwood, which is a long-standing traditional selection for fine chess piece construction. Boxwood is a strong and durable wood often found in Europe and small sections of Asia. It has a smooth feel, polishes to a brilliant sheen when buffed, and has a beautifully fine grain, which will prevent splitting and cracking of the pieces. The individual pieces are sealed and finished giving each chessman a timeless luster and appeal.
