Mahogany / Sycamore Veneer, 55mm

Description

This 55mm board is finely crafted from Sycamore and Mahogany. It is a veneer board but still offers a great look and gives a quality feel. Since it is a veneer board, it is not too heavy, despite its size, with a weight of 2.75 kg and can easily be carried around, in contrast to solid wooden boards which easily weigh 4kg and more.

On the bottom, it has four felt pads attached to it so it won't scratch your couch table and can easily be slid over any smooth surface. The board measures 52 x 52 cm (= approx. 20.5 x 20.5 inch) and with a square size of 55mm it is ideal for bigger chess sets where the king has a base diameter of at least 40mm but 45mm (1.6 - 1.75in) is recommended, dependent on whether you prefer a bigger or smaller pitch between your pieces.
