Elm burl is one of the most beautiful burl woods in the world with a wide range of brown-orange colors and unique burl wood patterns. The erable is whitened bird's-eye maple and looks and creates a striking contrast with the rich colors of the elm burl. This is an inlaid chessboard made from the finest quality elm burl and erable veneer and sealed with a matte polyurethane finish to protect and enhance the beauty of the wood.

The overall size of the board is 21.75 inch and is 0.625 inch thick. The chess box is wonderfully constructed and reminiscent of the old heirloom quality chess boxes from many years ago. The box is covered in elm burl veneer and the interior is lined with a thick green baize just like those used for the pads on our chess pieces. The box has a divider in the center for storing the black and white pieces separately. There are high quality recessed hinges and a brass plated lock for securing the lid. 2 keys are included in case one ever gets lost.
