The web is what takes the nerve — threads cut so fine across the oval frame that they look spun rather than carved, radiating out and then circling back, with the spider sitting dead centre exactly where it means to be. Around it this hand-carved wooden backgammon set runs flowing scrollwork inside a braided border, so the whole lid is worked from edge to edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not a comfortable image, and that is the appeal. A spider on its web is patience made visible: it does not chase anything, it builds a position and then waits for the game to come to it. Anybody who has been slowly, politely dismantled across a backgammon board knows that feeling from the losing side. Open the clasps, let the bronze hinges swing back, and the full 23.6\" \/ 60 cm playing field is where you find out which of you is the spider tonight. Carry it in by the cut-out handle and set it down.\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 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 spider and its full web carved by hand — threads cut fine enough to look spun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrollwork and a braided border worked right around the lid\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 handmade wooden backgammon board nobody else at the table will have\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Gift For the Patient Player\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive it to the one who never seems to be winning until suddenly the game is over.
