Reasonably Priced Non-Veneered Board?

Anyone got some advice for a reasonably priced chessboard with 2.25" squares that is NOT veneered? I'm fine if it is simply stained and not inlaid. I also fine if it has letters and numbers for notation or not.

My preference would be something that does not fold, but fold-able would work.

I have a nice veneered board from house of Staunton, but a non-veneered board is likely to hold up better over time with actual usage.

I have a 45 year old Veneered board made by Wegiel & its good as new. You are so wrong in assuming that Veneer boards don't hold up.

Lets just say that I doubt the veneer used today is as thick as what you have on your board. At any rate, I would still appreciate suggestions for a non-veneered board.

You can look at etsy (especially Colorado Woodworker) and ebay (if you don't mind used). 

If you decide on the Colorado Woodworker avoid using bubinga. For whatever reason it doesn't play well with other woods. My board arrived with a distinctive bow (or arch). In fairness, he offered me the option of returning the board or keeping it at a greatly reduced price (I chose the later).

I have three boards from Bill Nelson @ Bill's Woodpile, I bought the first one about 4-5 years ago when he was just starting to make chess boards. His prices are very reasonable and the quality is very good; probably better now with experience. Here are some board pics. The first shows two of Bill's boards, a 2.5" northern ash and padauk (my favorite), and a 2.125" maple and bloodwood.

Next is the 2.375" bubinga board from the Colorado Woodworker, and a 2" northern ash and bloodwood board from Bill.

In profile, the warped bubinga board (2nd from the bottom) is quite noticeable, the only problem is the underside was the surface I wanted to use, but the board wouldn't lie flat. I turned it over, applied three large felt pads on the top (which in now the bottom) and it works just fine. I figure we're living on a curved planet, so what's the difference.

Different timbers expand and contract at different rates with changes in humidity, and different amounts relative to grain and growth ring direction. Its a problem that veneers minimise.
