It is a fitting description of these graceful hand-carved chess pieces. The Light pieces are crafted from select Boxwood, and the Dark pieces are carved from Rosewood. The texture of both kinds of wood is smooth and even, naturally resistant to weather and decay, which will ensure generations of enjoyment. Chess pieces are handcrafted in minute detail - just look at the exquisite King pictured left. One can easily imagine the labor involved.
