This listing is for a set of Small Mid Century Modern Wood Chess Pieces. These hand-crafted playing pieces make a perfect and meaningful gift for that special person in your life. American-Made from sustainably sourced hardwoods out of Minnesota, this is an heirloom set of playing pieces that's fit to be passed down from generation to generation. Each playing piece is individually cut and sanded by hand. The lighter Maple playing pieces are finished with several coats of satin lacquer, which both maintains the wood's original light color while also providing a durable and long-lasting finish. The darker Walnut, White Oak, and Mahogany contrasting pieces are finished with tung oil to bring out the full richness and depth of the wood you select, while still providing long-lasting protection. The Black Oak pieces are finished with a coat of durable black water-based stain that maintains the grain pattern of the solid oak playing piece. Images of all potential playing piece combinations are available in the listing pictures so you cans select the best combination for your preferences and needs. Listing is for chess pieces only; chess board is NOT included. Each chess piece set comes with 16 total pieces per side (8 pawns, 2 rooks, 2 knights, 2 bishops, 1 queen, and 1 king), for a total of 32 pieces. If you would like a second Queen of one or both wood varieties, there is a separate listing on the Vohnoutka Woodworks shop page where you can order those separately.
