Made from blue ash burl and white erable

Chess Bazaar pairs two premium woods to create a chess board that feels special every time you set it down.

Blue ash burl brings rich, dark colour with natural grain that shows through the glossy finish.

And white erable adds a bright element to the board that keeps its overall look clean and classic.

Together they create a modern, polished style that still feels right for casual or serious games.

At 55 cm, the board gives players plenty of room so your chess pieces stay clear of each other and easy to read during the game.

High-quality veneer construction

If you want a chess board that feels solid without being too heavy and a hassle to use... a veneered build delivers exactly that.

The veneer keeps the playing surface stable which helps the board stay flat even with heavy use.

Its smooth finish lets every piece sit properly so your layout always looks tidy and consistent.

And with less weight to carry, it’s easier to move, store or bring along whenever you need it.

World-class craftsmanship

When you hold a Chess Bazaar board, you instantly feel the difference.

Skilled artisans shape, smooth and finish each part by hand to bring out the best in the wood.

The grain shows naturally because every cut and detail is guided by real hands and not mass produced by machines.

Built for long-term use, it works just as well for regular use as it does as a display piece.

This level of workmanship turns every game into a memorable experience and it's now available to Australian players.

Frequently asked questions

What size pieces fit this board best?

Pieces with a king base between 40mm and 45mm sit perfectly on the 55mm squares, giving you a clean setup without crowding.

Is the board heavy to carry?

It’s lighter than it looks thanks to its veneer construction, so moving it around or storing it isn’t a hassle.

Will the glossy finish make the pieces slide around?

No. The hi-gloss surface is smooth but stable, so your pieces stay put while still feeling good to move.

Does the board stay flat over time?

Yes. The veneered build keeps the surface steady and helps prevent warping, even with regular use.

Is this board suitable for serious players?

Absolutely. Its precise square sizing, solid feel and premium materials make it ideal for focused and thoughtful games.

Can I use this board for display?

Definitely. The Blue Ash Burl and White Erable colours look striking, and the shiny finish makes it a standout piece.

Is it fragile because it’s handmade?

Not at all. Each board is crafted with durability in mind, giving you both strength and a refined finish.

Does the board come with chess pieces?

No. It’s the board only, so you can pair it with the pieces you already have or choose a set that matches your style.

Is the size too big for a home setup?

The 55cm layout gives you a full playing experience without feeling oversized on most tables.

Where is the board made?

It’s crafted in Spain by experienced makers, ensuring consistent quality and attention to detail.
