Unique chess set made using fourteen different woods

This chess set has been made using fourteen different woods; including mahogany, walnut, flamey birch, spalted hornbeam, zebrawood and douglas fir.

The board is made of 1cm thick pieces of mahogany and sycamore, with a plywood substrate. Rows one and eight are raised up 2cm. Rows two and seven are raised 1cm. The case is made of flamey birch and has been treated with diluted tung oil to bring out the figuring.

The 'dark' pieces have been made using six different woods.

Rook - douglas fir treated with diluted tung oil.

Knight - zebrano [aka zebrawood].

Bishop - walnut.

King and Queen - oak treated with diluted tung oil.

Pawns - body is ebony, head is dyed beech.

The pieces have been designed according to their direction of travel. A rook can move forwards, backward or side to side.  A knight can move one square forwards, backward or side to side plus one square diagonally. A bishop can move diagonally.

The king and queen can move in any direction. Their direction of travel has been indicated by their bases, rather than by the shape of the piece.

The 'light' pieces have also been made using six different woods.
 
Rook - maple.

Knight - lime.

Bishop - cherry

King and Queen - spalted hornbeam.

Pawns - body is ash, head is beech.
