This Hnefatafl game is carved out of a large 15"x15" piece of rare antique Patagonian Rosewood. The game pieces are made from beautiful black Ebony and deep red Padauk. The combination of woods create a visual symphony intended to transport players to a bygone era of strategic prowess. Not being satified with the detailed carvings, Yarema also added the rich gleam of real 24 karat gold game squares to play with the light. Obviously this beautiful handmade Hnefatafl game board was not created to be merely a game, but more than that—a timeless work of art, inviting those you play with to immerse themselves in the grandeur of a forgotten age.

Every piece we create—whether showcased here, displayed in a gallery, or sold in person at an event or at our farmstead—is handcrafted with pride by our family right here in North Carolina. Each item is made one at a time, often to your specific order, using carefully chosen wood, leather, and other high-quality organic materials.
Your piece of art is truly unique. Natural variations in wood grain, knots, carve marks, and brush strokes ensure that no two creations are ever exactly alike. We embrace the individuality of every piece, crafting them with care and attention to detail. Rest assured, there is no mass production here—just one-of-a-kind artistry, made for you from our heart.
