Questions About Wood Chess Board
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021
    Chess boards are made from different types of material – it is really a matter of preference. Materials such as wood, ivory, glass, plastic, clay, stone, and various metals have been used over time to create chess boards. An assortment of antique and vintage chessboards is available on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    The best wood for a cutting board is one wood that is not open-pored or soft. Open-pored woods tend to stain easily, while soft woods show cutting scars from knives. Therefore, it is best to opt for maple, beech, teak, or walnut when choosing a cutting board.
