This is the nicest crokinole board we have ever seen on the market and worth paying a little more for. This hand crafted collectable is made in Canada with a maple veneer playing surface with 32 mm hole. Maple veneer is used for its smoothness and consistency. It has Screen Printed black score lines for Crokinole on the front and Checkers on the back. The hefty rails are Solid Ash and the it has durable plastic pegs. Measuring 28-1/2'' side to side, it is also slightly larger than standard crokinole boards. Playing Surface is 23.25 inches. On the reverse side is a standard 8 x 8 checkered board that can be used for chess or checkers. This is a well built, quality board that will be passed down from generation to generation. We like to hang ours on the game room wall. It looks great and is always handy for a game. Includes 24 solid wood playing pieces and instructions.
