Handcrafted in Spain by the renowned artisans of Rechapados Ferrer, this walnut burl and maple chess board is a true masterpiece. Featuring the finest walnut burl veneer, each board showcases rich brown and amber tones with dramatic swirling grain patterns that make every piece one-of-a-kind. The maple squares create a crisp contrast against the darker burl, while a sleek black molded edge frames the board with refined elegance. The board is sealed in a matte polyurethane finish that both protects and enhances the natural color of the wood.
With its generous proportions, this premium chess board is designed for extra-large chess pieces. The 2.375" (60 mm) squares comfortably accommodate chessmen with bases up to 2" in diameter, making it ideal for larger Staunton sets with kings up to 4.6" tall. Measuring 23.75" across, this board makes an impressive statement in any setting—whether as the centerpiece of your game room, study, or display collection.

Recommended Chess Pieces:
The rich brown colors of the walnut burl are ideal for contrasting with ebony or black chess pieces, but the reddish-orange color of padauk pieces will nicely compliment the intermingled amber colors in the burl wood. Larger metal pieces will also create a beautiful contrast against the walnut burl colors.
