Leather backgammon boards, made by hand north of Boulder.
Every board is cut, dyed and stitched by hand in one studio, start to finish. No two are exactly alike, and none of them are meant to sit in a box.
Finished boards, one of each. What you see in the photograph is the board that ships.
Pick the board, the size and a direction, and it is made for you. Four questions, then a letter from the studio.
Two boards, three sizes
The Drifter rolls and travels with you. The Homestead lies flat on the table, or hangs on the wall. Both are cut from the same hides, by hand, in the same studio. The Drifter comes in 22 and 26; the Homestead in 22, 26 and 30.
The Drifter
From $1,000It rolls into its own case, with a strap, and goes where you go.
Sizes are the long edge, in inches. Inlaid or stitched — same price, different character.
The Homestead
From $1,000It stays. A flat board on a wood backing, on the table or on the wall.
Sizes are the long edge, in inches. Inlaid or stitched — same price, different character.
On the shelf
Finished pieces, one of each. What you see is the board that arrives.
All ready to ship
Folly Farm
Every board is made at Folly Farm, the family farm north of Boulder. The way of working was figured out in a garage in the Texas Hill Country. Every board is still cut, dyed and stitched by hand, start to finish.
About the studio
The board, the size, one you keep coming back to, and who it is for.
A price, and a question or two of our own. If we can't make it, we say so.
One conversation to settle the leather and the points. The board is paid in full once it is agreed.
Photographed finished, then shipped.
Leather goods
Totes, trays and belts, made by hand in the same studio. No machines. Any of them can be made again, like the one shown.
