The Craft
John has a rich woodworking heritage in the state of Pennsylvania. Originally from Switzerland, the skills were passed down through five generations. This lost art of woodworking is continually refined, blending timeless methods with the latest knowledge of wood behavior. For example every design must be carefully planned with the appropriate wood selection and cuts to account for variations in humidity that cause natural expansion and contraction of wood. To craft a wood product that will last for generations, John gives great attention to every phase of production including wood selection, drying, cutting, curing, crafting, and the multi-step finishing process that results in the smooth, elegant, lustrous finish for which the JLP products are known. Every product is personally overseen by John and must meet his standards before releasing them to Chess House.

Best Chess board

This is an incredibly well made chess board, the best I ever bought so far ( I have four wooden boards). Best when matched with pieces, for example, the official Fide world chess set in the figure below.

The closest thing to a perfect chess board

Shall I need to say anything else?
I suggest the championship wooden set to go with it. Lovely.

High Quality USA Made Board

The JSP board was exactly as described. It feels very solid and the finish is good as well. It is pretty large so I would make sure you have the table space before buying.

Wonderful Board and Service

The quality is excellent. The squares are aligned well; the surface is smooth. Fits well with 1.5 in-base chess pieces (I use the championship set).

Best of all, Chess House had excellent service. I wanted this board without the logos and the agreed to do it! It was first shipped with logos, but I returned it ad they sent a copy without logos. Reach out to the Chess house team if you have any questions about anything!

Question

Do you sell or does John make a 23" version of the "Drueke Like" board with 2.25" squares?
Is this board reversible or is it inlaid?

Like to say my board arrived in perfect shape. Beautiful board. Like the fact that it is American made, and looks very much like a drueke board. This will be a board to be passed along in the family.

its wood

Very nice board and very happy with the set. One piece had a minor crack, which comes from being wood. Not a problem. But understand what you are buying and understand it is a natural product. Great chess board.

Hi,

I would like to buy this table with the accompanying pieces and was wondering if it is possible to get the table without any logo?

Regards,
Sebastian

The product that you asked this question about is not a table, it is just a board. If you are interested in the tables from the same carpenter than they will have options for boards without the logo. https://www.chesshouse.live/search?q=jlpwt
