Wood Burl Backgammon Sets

A beautiful backgammon set handmade in Greece by using the art of marquetry. Using this technique each handmade set is exquisitely inlaid with lovely burled wood veneer making these sets aesthetically unique and a pleasure to play with. 

Walnut burl is a beautiful tree that symbolises confidence and mental wisdom.  The heartwood of the tree can range from a lighter pale brown to a dark chocolate brown with darker brown wavy grains. The playing field is a combination of walnut with oak and black colour points. The Olive tree is known as the Tree of Life due to its benefits for mankind. Olive wood is very hard, strong and long lasting. Heartwood is a cream or yellowish brown, with darker brown wavy grains. The playing field is a combination of olive wood with wenge and mahogany points. 

Each set is packaged in a Manopoulos gift box and includes 30 olive or walnut pieces, 4 dice, 1 doubling cube and a set of dice cups.
