Have a look at this absolutely stunning luxury competition/regulation sized, exotic wood two tier chess set. This is not something you will find at your local hobby or craft store, but a unique handmade hardwood piece of art. The proof is in the pudding.......

The two tier chess board measures approximately 22.5" x 22.5" x .75". The playing surface is constructed of solid and stunning Honduran rosewood and curly maple woods. The border is cocobolo rosewood and zebrawood. The board has been finished with three coats of semi-gloss polyurethane all around.

The chess pieces are hand carved from boxwood and highly figured bud rosewood. Each piece is triple weighted with lead inserts and felt bottoms. Meticulously handcrafted and finished in semi-gloss lacquer. Two extra queens are included in the set for proper chess play. The pieces in this set are beefy. The kings measure a full 4" tall with a 1 5/8" base. The piece sets fit nicely on both sets of boards.

At approximately 15lbs, this set (board and pieces) is heavy! Exotic woods are incredibly dense. Definitely not something cheap and flimsy.

This ad is for a complete chess set... board AND pieces.

Optional rubberized grip feet can be installed on the bottom for improved stability on hard surface use. This is an absolute wonderful gift for the checkers or chess enthusiast, and a set that is built to last for generations.

Thanks for looking! I really appreciate each and every one of my customers.
