Questions About Small Chess Pieces
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Boxwood is often used for chest pieces due to the properties of the wood. While it is a hard, dense wood that can hold up to wear and tear, boxwood is also simple to turn and carve, so it can be easily shaped into pawns, rooks and other pieces. In addition, the light color works well with white paint. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of chess sets.
