Standard Chess Board

Black walnut · Maple · Danish oil polish

$850

One of a kind — never made twice

A classic tournament-sized board built from alternating black walnut and maple squares. The dark squares are cut from solid walnut, the light from hard maple, matched for tone and grain so the pattern reads cleanly across the whole field. Finished with a hand-rubbed Danish oil polish that deepens the color and protects the surface.
