You've found the perfect gift for your favourite game-lover! This handcrafted Moroccan Thuya Wood Chess & Backgammon Set includes a chess board on the exterior and backgammon board on the interior, hand-carved chess pieces, checker discs. This beautiful set features a rich burl grain and natural or stained inlays, lustrous finish, and cedar-like fragrance.
The origin of Thuya wood (don't forget to pronounce it "two-ya"!) can be traced back to the Thuya tree (also known as Tetracaines articulate in Latin or Araar in Moroccan). This beautiful, biblical conifer tree belongs to the cedar family and can only be found in Morocco. Not only is it a popular choice for decorative woodwork and fine objects, but it's also used to make these charming Thuya wood Backgammon boards that are both lightweight and durable, promising years of fun. (Yay!)
