Exquisite, figured makah burl wood Games Compendium by Hillwood

Dinner is over, the port has been passed, it is time for conversation, relaxation, and perhaps a game of poker or cribbage—or if dining alone, a quiet evening playing patience. How much more enjoyable, then, to bring out a fine polished wood games compendium to suit the mood, and the general bonhomie—and here is a handsome traditional games compendium, craftsman-made in fine polished makah burl wood veneer with gleaming brass fittings which really sets the tone. The makah burl wood is exquisitely figured, the box craftsman made and finished with 15 coats of lacquer to achieve that high-gloss piano finish. It is lined inside with soft simulated suede and it contains cards, dominoes set, poker dice and cribbage board. It has a key lock to keep it closed and secure. Perfect for a gift or personal use, this beautiful set arrives in a smart presentation case.
