Wood is \"living\" after it is cut down, not a rigid block. Due to the circular ringed nature of a tree, the direction of cuts is very important to the natural expansion and contraction of the wood as humidity levels change from one environment to another. This unique expansion of both woods used in this work of art, require great attention in every phase. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCare\u003c\/span\u003e. It can be helpful to store or display the chessboard vertically so that equal temperature and humidity is applied to both upper and lower sides of the wood. A light lacquer finish is applied for furniture style smoothness, and a soft, dry cloth should be used to wipe the surface dust free.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"35G","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32275308737,"sku":"OB508","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1297\/3303\/products\/garage-sale-item-21-hardwood-player-s-chessboard-jlp-usa-21184405057.jpg?v=1580427308","url":"https:\/\/www.chesshouse.live\/products\/195-garage-sale-item-21-hardwood-players-chessboard-jlp-usa","provider":"Chess House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
