Backgammon Boards

Backgammon Boards

There are three craftsmen involved in building each Brahma Board. The three of them share a common love for the game and have spent countless hours discussing board features with other backgammon players. Each Brahma Board takes thirty five to forty hours to build!

Tim is the woodworker of the group. He designed the two styles of Brahma Boards. The playing surface is slightly larger than most boards. That makes pip counting easier and gives the player on the bear-off side more room for rolling dice during the bear-off phase of the game.

Randy is the leather craftsman who draws and dyes the playing surface. The process is time consuming and takes a steady hand. He works and conditions the leather to give it an aged appearance.

The interior surface of each board is cut from a single piece of leather. That includes the area for the checkers and cubes. The grain pattern flows from one side to the other.

When the finished leather is added to the board you have one of the most beautiful backgammon playing surfaces you will ever see and the best playing surface you will ever use.

Not only is this board beautiful - it is tough! The leather playing surface won't wear out like felt or cork, and can be renewed instead of being replaced.

The hardwood frame is strong and you have a choice between cherry, lyptus, maple, padauk, and walnut. The cherry boards are stained dark and the lyptus, maple, padauk and walnut boards are kept natural.

The exterior surface of the board is cut from one piece of leather. Clyde uses a process that gives the leather depth and protects it. This is real leather with small scars that give the board character! We made one board with the brand on the exterior and the backgammon player who bought it loved it!

These boards deserve to be called Brahma Boards! And, because leather and wood have different grain patterns no two boards will ever be the same. Each board is a work of art and is unique!

The boards come with a set of matching custom wood and leather dice cups, four 9/16th precision dice, one wood doubling cube and a set of checkers.

You can add a small brass plate engraved with your name or other information to personalize it.
