Play Chinese Checkers in style! Wood Artist Paul Szewc of Guelph has built this premium, unique and fun-to-play large wooden Chinese Checkers game board. This Chinese Checker board game is made of Baltic birch plywood and the dragon images and game outlines have been laser engraved and will not wear off through extended use. These patterns give the game board a textured and embossed look.



In picture 6 you can see darker spots in the marble wells; the material we use is a high quality plywood consisting of multiple layers of wood and when we carved into there are sometimes knots in the inner layers of uncovered wood. These knots are a natural part of the wood and are what creates the darker colouration you may see in some of the wells of your board. If you're concerned please message us and we may be able to find a board without the knots or give you a choice between the boards available.



The estimated diameter of the board is 18 5/8" with an estimated circumference of 58 1/2" and is made of 1/2 inch think high quality plywood. As our products are hand finished, slight changes in size may occur from the size given. Additionally, please note that due to wood grain variance, your board may differ slightly than the board shown in the photos. Marble colours may also differ from the images shown.



Paul designed this Chinese Checkers board with better play in mind. Tired of traditional boards, where the marbles sit close together making clear movement over the board difficult, Paul designed this game board so that the marbles are larger and the indentations where the marbles sit are further apart allowing the player to easily pickup and move during their turn. Additionally, lasered channels connecting the indentations allow for easy marble travel. The game board has been hand shaped, sanded, and finished with several coats of lacquer creating a smooth to the touch finish. This is the same process that a fine piece of furniture receives. It is very durable and requires no care. Simply wipe with a damp cloth if it becomes dirty.



As wood is a natural living product it can be a little unruly; knots, streaking, other blemishes and flaws in the grain can occur during the natural growth of the tree. We at Masterpiece Lasered Wood, the home of the famous "Wonky" furniture design believe these imperfections add a uniqueness to our products and LOVE us some rebellious wood grain or an interesting knot here or there that doesn't interfere with the use of the item.
