© Brahma Boards 2011 Only hand selected hardwoods are used to create the strong yet stylish frames. Woods such as Cherry, Walnut, Maple, Padauk and Jatoba are protected with a clear sealer that also enhances the woods natural beauty and character. Each handcrafted Brahma Board takes up to 10 weeks to create. The interior surface of the board is cut from a single piece of leather. The grain pattern flows from one side of the board to the other including the checker and dice storage areas. The surface is hand dyed with the points also being hand applied . We work the leather to give it an aged appearance and texture, then condition it to give it depth and protection. The exterior is also created from a single piece of leather and similarly conditioned. This is real leather with interesting grain patterns, small scars and lots of character!
