    Beautiful board

    Posted by David on 30th Jun 2023

    Purchased the mission craft padauk board with the Copenhagen padauk and boxwood pieces and I am very pleased with the craftsmanship and design. I fell in love with the set and kept thinking about it for special occasions / games. Very happy I pulled the trigger. It's quite large and if you don't plan to have it out all the time, I'd invest in a protective bag / cover for storage.

    Simply Beautiful

    Beautiful and solid board. The maple squares have a nice texture while the padauk is simply gorgeous and exotic. Very sturdy and durable. Weights just over 14 lbs. The board is almost perfect, as it carries very trivial imperfections. The board is by no means inexpensive but given the labor-intensive building process this is more or less justified. The employees responded promptly to any inquiries or updates. I am overall satisfied with the product. Solid 4.5/5.
