It is rather difficult to make a straight choice and judgment whether ebony or bud rosewood is better for chess pieces. This is because different people prefer different attributes of both ebony as well as bud rosewood. For instance, ebony has a robustness and strength, which makes it quite durable and the choice of millions. It also has a wonderful brownish coloring that gives the chess pieces the rich traditional look that many people prefer. On the other hand, the bud rosewood tree provides a unique and more rich coloring which makes it popular. Nonetheless, bud rosewood lacks the durability and robustness that ebony has. Hence if one wants richer color, he/she would prefer bud rosewood while those who want durability would go with ebony.
