I've been persuaded by my daughter to make her a chess set.I am using sycamore for the white pieces but I am stuck with what to use for black(or dark). I have tried elm but couldn't get any detail on the pieces,Beech was too light and oak not quite enough of a contrast.I also tried wood die but it looks awful and shows any little blemish. Any ideas anybody? I can't afford ebony .
