Leather backgammon board?

[joelawton]

Hello,

I'm a fine furniture maker near Telluride, CO. I'm designing a couple of backgammon tables that I'll be showing at various furniture shows. I'm wondering if anyone could tell me where to start looking for a craftsman that could custom make the leather playing surface that I would inlay into the table top and what I should be asking about or looking for in terms of quality. The furniture is refined and of high quality, and I would like the leatherwork to be equal to that. Thanks for your help.

When I think gameboards, I think of CitizenKate because hers are just fantastic. I have no idea how busy she is at the moment, but you can always ask, right? If nothing else, she may know someone who can help you.

Hi Joe,

I do leather work and saddle repair and I am down in Denver. Could you send me some pics of your backgammon tables and some measurements and I can get back with you on a price(do you have a price in mind?). When do you need them by?

Thanks,

Chris
