{"product_id":"bronze-wolf-carved-backgammon-board","title":"Backgammon Set Hand Carved - Wolf and Bronze Stars","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBackgammon Set Hand Carved - Wolf and Bronze Stars\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wolf is carved into the wood; the stars are cast in bronze. That is the whole composition, and it works because of the contrast — a warm matte animal held in relief at the centre of the lid, and two points of hard bright metal set either side of it, with the entire field around them hand-cut into fine cross-hatching so nothing else in the picture reflects anything at all. Look at it under a lamp and the stars come on first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who has walked in mountains after dark knows why those two things belong together. The wolf works the night shift; the stars are simply what is up there while it does. Open the clasps, let the bronze hinges swing back, and the full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm playing field is ready for players who keep similar hours — the ones who say one more game at eleven and mean three. This is a luxury backgammon set with real metal in it, and it carries to the table by its own cut-out handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackgammon board with bronze hinges, clasps and a cut-out carry handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 checkers made from beech and walnut wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA pair of dice and a carrying bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolded: 30 x 60 cm \/ 11.8 x 23.6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen playing field: 60 x 60 cm \/ 23.6 x 23.6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5 kg \/ 11 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood: solid beech, with bronze details, hinges and clasps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntirely handmade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA wolf carved by hand in deep relief, flanked by two cast bronze stars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA hand-cut cross-hatched field so the bronze carries all the light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolds shut on bronze hinges and travels by its own cut-out carry handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA luxury wooden backgammon board with genuine metal, not painted detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Gift For the Night Player\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people are sharpest after everyone else has gone to bed.
