The Boards
Pieces: I always customized the checker for my
Board, since the first one. At the beginning, I used to make
checker by a mix of clay and ceramic like, after a while I
decided to substitute it for resin. To make checker with
resin seemed at that time very hard then I decided to buy
the checker, but I found another problem, the limitation of
colors and sizes. For this reason I insisted in making my
own checkers and now I can create a specific checker for
each of my Boards.
Handle: due to the limitation of colors from
the manufactured handles, I also decided to start making the
handle for each Board. Each one of my Boards has a handle
that matches with the leather from their suitcase, making
the whole set complete.
Dice Cup: it is also made entirely by hand
using the same leather used in the handle and suitcase.
Although it is handmade cup, all of them bring an internal
lip.
Leather: High quality of leather from different
countries such as United States, Brazil, Italy and
Argentina.
Playing Surface: made of suede like, with the
points painted by hand, this surface plays very nicely, the
checkers slice smoothly over this surface. For those who
likes to play later night, under the playing surface there
is a flannel which diminishes the noise of the dice.
