1. Selecting the Finest Wood
2. Designing with Precision
Designing our chess pieces involves a careful balance of tradition and innovation. Our artisans draw inspiration from iconic chess designs, such as the Staunton style, combining with today's minimal style while adding unique touches that reflect Enterro’s signature craftsmanship. Advanced CAD (Computer-aided Design) tools are used to create precise templates, ensuring uniformity across sets while preserving the individuality of each piece.
3. Handcrafting by Skilled Artisans
At Enterro, we believe that machines cannot replicate true artistry alone. That’s why our skilled artisans play a central role in shaping and detailing each chess piece. Using traditional carving tools and techniques, they bring the designs to life, ensuring every knight, rook, and pawn is instilled with character and precision.
4. Sanding and Finishing for Perfection
The finishing process is where our chess pieces truly shine. Each piece is carefully sanded to a smooth finish, eliminating imperfections and highlighting the natural beauty of the wood. We apply non-toxic, eco-friendly finishes that enhance the grain and provide a protective layer, ensuring the pieces are both visually stunning and resilient.
5. Weighted and Felted Bases
Our chess pieces are weighted for stability and fitted with felted bases to enhance gameplay. This not only prevents scratches on the chessboard but also ensures a satisfying tactile experience as pieces glide effortlessly during play. These thoughtful touches are part of what sets Enterro Chess apart.
6. Crafting Magnetic Chess Pieces
For players who love portability and convenience, Enterro also crafts magnetic chess pieces. Small but powerful magnets are embedded into the bases of the pieces, ensuring they stay securely in place on the board during travel or play on uneven surfaces. This process requires precise drilling and careful placement of magnets to maintain balance and aesthetics. The result is a set of magnetic chess pieces that combines functionality with the same elegance and quality that Enterro is known for.
7. Quality Checks at Every Step
Rigorous quality checks accompany every step of our manufacturing process. From the initial wood selection to the final packaging, our team ensures that each piece meets Enterro’s exacting standards. Any piece that doesn’t meet our criteria is either reworked or set aside, ensuring only the best reach our customers.
8. Sustainability and Responsibility
At Enterro, we are committed to sustainability. We use ethically sourced wood and ensure that our production processes minimize waste. Our dedication to eco-friendly practices reflects our respect for nature and our commitment to preserving its beauty for future generations.
