This board is cut from solid American walnut and European ash — the same material top to bottom. The contrast between walnut's deep brown grain and ash's pale, clean figure creates a playing surface that reads clearly under any light. The finish is a natural penetrating oil, applied by hand: it feeds the wood rather than sealing it, leaving a surface that feels like wood rather than plastic. As the board ages, the oil can be refreshed with a single application, keeping the surface in playing condition indefinitely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 360 × 360 mm with 45 mm squares, this is a Staunton size 3 board — one of the smallest formats still fully suited to serious play. Staunton size 3 is a practical choice for anyone without a dedicated chess table: the board fits a standard shelf, sits comfortably on a coffee table or desk, and can travel without dominating a bag. It is a compact chess board in the literal sense — not scaled down to the point of being fiddly, but genuinely storable and displayable in ordinary living spaces. Ten boards will be made in this run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- ChessboArt Product Description End --\u003e","brand":"ChessboArt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61947858190666,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/5485\/6778\/files\/solid-wood-chess-board-walnut-ash-stack.webp?v=1780165155","url":"https:\/\/www.chessboart.com\/products\/solid-wood-chess-board-walnut-ash-36x36x2cm","provider":"ChessboArt ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
