Rosewood is one of the best wood materials for making chess pieces. Just like ebony, rosewood is a highly valuable material due to its scarcity. It is strong and heavy and an ideal material in making the black pieces of chess pieces. The craftsmen in ChessBaron exploited the rich combinations of hues in rosewood to come up with perfect white pieces. The Solid Rosewood Combination Chess Set 12 inch is an excellent testament to rosewood’s quality. This set comes with a foldable board that doubles as a secured holder of the pieces. However, its weight can be a consideration because it is over 800 grams. In general, I believe that set is worth having around for fun and display.
