The board is carved from a single piece of wood in the workshop's classic outline, and its wide frame is worked into a deep, dotted carved texture that changes with the light, wrapping a checkered field of light and dark wood with a softly scalloped edge. Set it on your table with the hand-carved pieces in place and it looks like it has always belonged there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen the bronze clasps and the same board becomes a handmade backgammon set — carved points, a carved wheel ornament in the centre of each half, checkers in two woods.
