The backgammon board and dice cups for this set are entirely hand crafted and hand stitched. The following items are included:

- 54.5cm X 47cm all leather board when open. The playing surface is made of natural, thick, vegetable tanned leather cow hide which has been distressed or antiqued by hand for increased character.  It is coloured in traditional shades of gold, brown, crimson, orange and coral. It is well nourished and polished to a smooth, glossy patina which will improve with usage.  Engraved lines which form the decorative waves and points are filled with metallic gold leather paint.  They are randomly applied so it is a unique art work.   A raised burgundy, vegetable tanned leather border is hand stitched through all layers around the board with strong gold linen thread to keep the stones/counters within the playing field.

- 2 hand stitched vegetable tanned leather dice cups constructed with the same leather used to make the inside of the board.  They are covered in vegetable tanned goat skin sourced from the famous Sokoto tanners of Nigeria.  The faces are burgundy with chestnut to the sides.  The insides are not dyed or natural in colour.  Discreet 'Worm Eats Bird' branding is engraved underneath one cup.  They measure around 8.5cm high, 7.5cm wide and 4.5cm deep at the sides.

- The outside surface of the board is covered in the same Sokoto goat skin used for the cups.  One side is burgundy and the other chestnut.  The stainless steel hinges and screws are heat treated to a bronze, antique colour effect which will not tarnish.

- 30 grey and red coloured 36mm natural resin, 'Galalith' stones or counters sourced from Greece.

- Four 14mm yellow and orange dice and a 22mm translucent whisky coloured doubling cube.
