These Chessmen are crafted from premium Boxwood
and Blood Rosewood. Blood
Rosewood is
a very rare and expensive hardwood that has a very striking appearance. It is
red/burgundy in color that will darken over time and eventually have the color
of a dark red wine. For more than 4,000 years, Red Sandalwood has been widely
regarded as a sacred wood by Asian cultures and is treasured for its aromatic
and medicinal properties.
