Made from red ash burl and maple

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

Red ash burl brings a deep, natural tone with grain that shows through the glossy finish.

Maple adds a lighter contrast that keeps the overall look clean and classic.

Together they create a polished style that suits relaxed games or more focused sessions.

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.

Superior veneer construction

If you want a chess board that feels sturdy without the extra weight or hassle to handle, a veneered build delivers exactly that.

The veneer keeps the surface stable, helping the board stay flat even with regular use.

Its smooth finish lets every piece settle neatly so your setup always looks organised and consistent.

And with less weight to manage, it’s easier to move, store or take with you 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 work best with this board?

It’s made for pieces with a king base between 40mm and 45mm, which sit comfortably on the 55mm squares without feeling crowded.

Is the board heavy to move around?

It has some weight at around 2.95 kg, but the veneer construction keeps it lighter than a solid wood board of the same size, so it’s easier to handle.

Does it come with chess pieces included?

No. That said, most standard tournament-style sets pair well with the square size.

How durable is the glossy finish?

The hi-gloss coating is designed to protect the wood surface and hold up to regular play. It also makes the colours pop while staying easy to wipe clean.

Will the board stay flat over time?

Yes. The veneered build helps keep the surface stable, which reduces the risk of warping and keeps the board flat for the long term.

Where is this board made?

It’s crafted in Spain, known for long-standing woodworking traditions and reliable quality in premium chess boards.

Is the board suitable for display as well as gaming?

Absolutely. The red ash burl and maple combination looks striking on its own, so many buyers use it as both a playing surface and a display piece.

What are the exact dimensions of the board?

Does the handmade nature affect consistency?

Because it’s handmade, weight can vary slightly, but quality and finish remain consistent across each board.

Is this board good for beginners or more for collectors?

It fits both. Beginners enjoy the clear, comfortable layout, while collectors appreciate the craftsmanship and materials.
