Looking for a solid wood chess board with a choice of red-brown bud rosewood or dark brown Indian rosewood? This 58cm rosewood and maple board has solid rosewood dark squares and solid maple light squares, laid out in 60mm squares. It's a full size board that suits home play, club nights and serious games alike.
Each board is handmade in India from solid timber rather than veneer, so the grain and colour are a little different on every one. It's 22.9mm thick and weighs about 4.8kg, which gives it a sturdy, settled feel on the table. A shiny hi-gloss finish brings out the grain.
With 60mm squares, it sits within the 50 to 65mm range FIDE recommends for tournament play. Choose Bud Rosewood & Maple or Indian Rosewood & Maple. It suits chess pieces with a king base of 45 to 55mm. Chess pieces aren't included. See more in our wood chess boards collection.
The dark squares are solid rosewood and the light squares are solid maple. Because it's natural timber, the grain and colour vary a little from board to board.
It has a shiny hi-gloss finish that shows off the grain.
At 58cm across, it's a full size board for home or club play.
Wipe it with a dry cloth and it'll look good for years.
With 60mm squares, this board suits chess pieces with a king base of 45 to 55mm.

"The hi-gloss finish really brings out the rosewood grain, whichever timber you pick. Gloss does show fingerprints, so it suits display and home play more than heavy club use. If you want a full size board that looks the part, it's a great choice."
- Blake Sterling, CEO & Founder, Sterling Chess

Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat and water, as solid timber can move with big changes in temperature and humidity.
