The Craft
John has a rich woodworking heritage in the state of Pennsylvania. Originally from Switzerland, the skills were passed down through five generations. This lost art of woodworking is continually refined, blending timeless methods with the latest knowledge of wood behavior. For example every design must be carefully planned with the appropriate wood selection and cuts to account for variations in humidity that cause natural expansion and contraction of wood. To craft a wood product that will last for generations, John gives great attention to every phase of production including wood selection, drying, cutting, curing, crafting, and the multi-step finishing process that results in the smooth, elegant, lustrous finish for which the JLP products are known. Every product is personally overseen by John and must meet his standards before releasing them to Chess House.

First Rate!

The quality of the board and the pieces (I ordered the ebonized ones) are absolutely first rate. Pieces are nicely weighted, and the board is exceptional. You won't be disappointed with this purchase.

Best Chess board

This is an incredibly well made chess board, the best I ever bought so far ( I have four wooden boards). Best when matched with pieces, for example, the official Fide world chess set in the figure below.
