The twenty inch dual profile Rosewood chess board is the ideal partner for many of our Rosewood & Ebony chess men. The entire board is expertly carved from solid Maple & Rosewood. The design features two sides of playing squares, one side with a unique channel design that means that you can see the depth & profile of the solid wooden squares. Rosewood needs no introduction as one of the finest & most beautiful woods, used for years to make fine musical instruments & currently in short supply, countries like Brazil have run so short that they now enforce a complete ban on the forestation of Rosewood, so much so that the prized Brazilian rosewood is sky rocketing in value. Fine guitar builders keep their stocks of it locked away in vaults for future guitar projects that will cost 1000s of pounds. This fine chess board has been carved from the equally beautiful but less expensive Indian Rosewood. It has been expertly lacquered & polished to a medium to high shine. Order now to experience one of the finest chess boards we have to offer & invest in a future treasure.
