4” king NOJ Minceta set in brown stain on the folding board Zach from Pith Studios made me. Maple and padauk with a strip of wenge.

1950s on an old Drueke w 2 inch squares, and a newer custom made board w 2.25 inch squares.

The custom made board is very very nice. Is a really good match with the set.

Hmm? Now I'm jonesing for a Drueke board.

@magic…. I can say with a lot confidence, you won’t regret it. It’s simply a classic. Mine is older and shows plenty of wear, only makes it better…..

Cherry Red NOJ Portorož ‘08 over an American Walnut and Maple Chess board made by Etsy JKCreative Wood. The finish on this Chess board is the best I have seen to date.

@stumOnner Wow. A BCE and a Portorož ‘08? The carving on your Queen is really something special. The top is ever so slightly different than what is in the NOJ gallery. Is this a recent purchase? I always love seeing NOJ sets other than Dubrovniks. I wonder if Gregor spends extra time on these Non-Dubrov sets to flex. And that red stain. Double WOW. Janez has perfected that red formula. Beautiful set. Thank you for posting!

With the size of that logo, I think the manufacturer is taking the PITH.

A few last photos to this "NOJ set/board combination" thread before I swap in a different set for the week.

Could only 1 NOJ set and therefore chose for regular combination but that red color is really tempting happy

@pawnerai - I must have looked at the red photo shoot post a thousand times. This red minceta is pure fire 🔥. Especially how you present it with your pics. I've been crazy busy at work but I wanted to say I do enjoy this post very much. Thanks bananamoon, when I have time I'll post some more.

This thread is most likely going to cause an additional year's wait for an Noj set.wink

For me a regular vinyl roll up board is the best combination with my Minceta unweighted set.

Please post some other combinations (pictures are always nice).

 

Can you tell me where you got this nice vinyl board with no annotations on it?

It's just a regular vinyl board from which I I trimmed the edges :-).

Thanks! I'm going to try this myself.

@bananamoon got another one! I'm still so happy with my trimmed vinyl board and I just trimmed my roll up leather board on Monday.

Just trimmed my flex pad (: I like not just the looks but the extra space it gives while tossing it into a backpack. Surprisingly the top cloth stuck when cutting and didn't detach from the bottom grip material. A few photos of a Black stained maple NOJ BCE over trimmed up flex pad chess board.
