Botanical chess and backgammon board, featuring real preserved cobwebs, wildflowers and fern leaves nature gift goblincore B grade checker

This board is of a batch of 6 made in September 2026 (see my other listings for variations) . It is made from pine and beech wood, with a bio resin inlay of pressed and preserved ‘
Fern and wildflower sections and an outer inlaid chess design with alternating squares of real preserved cobwebs.

It is important to note that as with all things in nature; the leaves will change colour over time. Each leaf ages in a completely unique way, some turn a deep sepia, some a faded pastel, some even turn in to a nebula of different hues. This process can begin over months or years depending on how the board is stored, to delay the change in colours: keep away from UV light and humidity.

This board is imperfect owing to irregularities and dimpling in the resin finish, some small bubbles are captured around the plants and the board shows some small signs of it’s age as a restored vintage piece. This lends to a particularly handmade style and does not effect the functionality of the board.

The counters for this board are either hand sliced Birch branches that have been alternately stained and sealed, then lined with soft underlay to protect the board surface from scratches or factory made wooden counters.
