Nice. Is the set/board marble, or some other stone?

Nice match of the board squares and chess pieces. Did you make the chess pieces are did you purchase them?

Very Beautiful. Was the finish just Danish Oil or was it stained Danish Oil?

Thanks for all the comments. :) The finish was straight Danish oil – no stains used.

Very nice chess board. I didn’t see your answer for that kind of marble/stone the board was made of.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what type of stone the board and pieces are made of. The set was found at a garage sale so when you find a deal, you run with it ;)

And what type of Ash? I bought a stick of White Ash, just because i liked it. That is what started my Hickory craze.

I believe it is white ash. I looked it up on the vendor website and all I could find was the scientific name “Fraxinus americana.”

Ah Frank America. A good old standby.

I looked it up in my Wood identification and use and they just call it Fraxinus americana (White Ash) and related species (Oleaceae) Fraxinus excelsior (European Ash)
