Is this much weight variation normal between matching pieces in a House of Staunton set?
I recently got a wooden chess set from House of Staunton and noticed that some of the matching pieces feel noticeably different in weight, so I decided to put them on a scale.
For example, two of the rooks weigh 44g and 37g, while two of the bishops weigh 27g and 35g.
I understand that natural wood can vary in density and that weighted pieces probably won’t be identical down to the gram, but is this amount of variation considered normal for a quality weighted chess set? I do like the set a lot but when playing I definitely notice the difference.
I’m mainly curious whether other House of Staunton owners have seen similar differences between matching pieces, or if this is something I should contact them about.
