Brutalist Walnut Chess Table – Live Edge & Epoxy Resin Board
Couldn't load pickup availability
Brutalist Walnut Chess Table — Live Edge Slab with Epoxy Resin Chessboard
One trunk. One table. One owner.
This is a heavyweight, sculptural chess table carved from a single solid walnut slab — finished with a signature CNC-routed ChessboArt epoxy chessboard and full alphanumeric notation. Not mass-produced. Not replicated. This exact table spent nearly three months in the ChessboArt workshop and will never be made again.
Designed and handcrafted by FM Michał Fudalej — FIDE Master, chess enthusiast, and founder of ChessboArt.
From Tree to Playing Surface — The Making
The raw walnut trunk was air-dried naturally for approximately three years before entering our workshop. Only then was it planed flat and prepared for CNC routing — a process that carved a full tournament-spec ChessboArt chessboard directly into the slab, with complete alphanumeric notation around the perimeter.
The entire surface was then deep-impregnated with epoxy resin and left to cure under controlled conditions. After hardening, we ran a second round of precision planing, resin filling, multi-stage sanding and lacquer finishing. The result is a massive, characterful piece of furniture that retains every curve and texture of the live edge — while delivering a perfectly flat, tournament-grade playing surface.

Why a Chess Player Will Appreciate It
The 38 mm square size meets tournament standards — so this table is not just decorative, it plays. The CNC-engraved notation is precise and permanent, not painted or stickered. The multi-stage epoxy finish creates a surface that is smooth, flat and consistent across the entire board. It was built by someone who plays chess, for people who play chess.
One of One
This is the only example of this table in existence. Once it finds its home, it is gone.

You won’t reach a helpdesk
— you’ll reach me,
FM Michał Fudalej. I design and make each board by hand.
Yes, it’s a small brand. And every story has to start somewhere.
And honestly — I’d be truly glad even if you just say hi.
