European hardwoods

Hornbeam, beech, birch or maple depending on the model: dense woods, chosen for their grain and the way they last.

Hand-carved

The knight’s mane, the king’s crown: the details are carved by hand by cabinetmakers. No two pieces are ever quite identical.

Pyrography and inlay

The decoration on the board is burned in with heat and the squares are worked in contrasting woods, for a board that gains a patina over the years.
