undisturbed expanses of teak's showcase grain structure. Splendid swirls of the
earth's colors.

Pricing Note
As of this writing, teak lumber sells for $8/lb at most
hardwood retailers in the US. That will go up over time. A large teak
MegaChess set sells for a fraction of this raw material cost.
Considered as an investment, the value of a teak
MegaChess set doesn't depreciate it goes up in value as teak
grows more scarce. After over a thousand years, a chess set is not going to go
out of style. A MegaChess set has no moving parts, hence nothing to wear
out. It will be a family treasure to pass down through many generations.
A MegaChess set is like buying gold that you can
enjoy! |
When planning a playing area, consider the minimum size of the
square of a chessboard as the diameter of the base of the king (11 inches). The
common standard for tile that size is a 12" square, yielding a chessboard 8
feet on each side.
To transport this entire chess set, plan on about 14 cubic
feet. |
