Walnut and Maple Chessboard with Brazilian Cherry Border and Maple Inlay
Wood, by its very nature, is a hygroscopic material, meaning it readily absorbs and releases moisture from its environment. This characteristic makes wood susceptible to slight warpage, as the varying moisture levels cause the wood to expand and contract unevenly. To ensure your chess board remains in prime condition and minimizes the risk of warping, it is essential to store it in a stable environment where humidity and temperature fluctuations are kept to a minimum. Avoid placing the board in direct sunlight or near heat sources, which can dry out the wood unevenly.
Using a dehumidifier in particularly damp climates and occasionally wiping the board with a slightly damp cloth followed by a dry one, can help maintain its integrity. Additionally, applying a quality wood conditioner periodically will nourish the wood and provide a protective barrier against moisture absorption. By taking these precautions, you can preserve the beauty and functionality of your cherished chess board for years to come.
We hope you enjoy your chessboard for years to come!
