This chessboard combines red ash burl and light maple, two hardwoods that give you a nice space to play your game.

The red ash burl has a beautiful grain design and a richer colour, making the darker squares look unique.

And the light maple creates a strong contrast while holding up to regular use thanks to its wear-resistant nature.

Because these woods work well together, the board will stay in good shape and look great for a long time.

The result are chess pieces with balanced weight, clean profiles, and a confident feel from opening move to endgame.

The New Columbian Staunton chess set shows attention to detail and great work in each piece.

Each chessman is shaped with skill, has clear lines and soft shapes that show the care put into it.

So, this is a well-designed chess set now available in Australia for players who value real workmanship.

Frequently asked questions

What makes this set different from other Staunton designs?

This one stands out because the pieces are carved from rare bud rosewood and boxwood, giving you that classic look with a richer feel and weight distribution you don’t see in cheaper sets.

Is the board quality on par with the pieces?

Yes, the red ash burl and light maple board is built from durable hardwoods, so the surface stays flat, smooth, and visually clean even with regular play.

Will the pieces feel stable during games?

They’re properly weighted, so every piece stays grounded. You won’t get that hollow, flimsy feeling you find in lower-end sets.

Are the knights actually carved by hand?

They are. The detailing around the eyes, nostrils, and mane comes from skilled artisan work, which is why each knight has real personality.

Does the set come with extra queens?

Yep, you get two extra queens for easy pawn promotion, so you don’t need to sub in another piece mid-game.

Is the board large enough for comfortable play?

The 55mm squares give the pieces plenty of room, especially the king with its wider base, so nothing feels cramped.

How durable are the woods used in this set?

Bud rosewood and boxwood hold their shape well, and the board’s hardwoods resist wear, meaning the whole set is built to last for years.

Will the pieces damage the board over time?

No. Each piece has thick green felt on the base, so they glide smoothly without scratching or scuffing the surface.

Is this set suitable for serious players?

Absolutely. The proportions, weighting, and craftsmanship make it reliable for long, focused games, not just display.

Is the quality comparable to higher-priced luxury sets?

Pretty much — you’re getting materials and craftsmanship that other retailers charge far more for, without the inflated price tag.
