This lovely little board is also a perfect companion for our hand-crafted, solid sheesham and boxwood draughts (checkers) box set. The hinged box is constructed from solid sheesham, wax polished and lined with green felt. The hidden magnetic closing mechanism allows for clean lines on the box. The draughts pieces themselves are constructed from solid boxwood and ebonised boxwood and are naturally wax polished. Whilst your draught pieces are in play, we have also added a chess piece box. A simple yet elegant wooden box, the perfect place to store your chessmen. Crafted in Europe from birchwood, this box is of excellent quality. The outer dimensions are approx 197mm x 135mm x 78 mm.
