Can someone help me identify the wood used for the black pieces of this set?
Its not as dark as most ebony so i am unsure. I have been told it is Macassar ebony by one, Rosewood by another, and Mahogany (which seems unlikely) by another!
So if anyone knew with reasonable confidence i'd be very grateful. I want to turn two pieces to complete the set- a black king and a black bishop; so i want to get the wood exactly right.





Thanks,
Tom
