Our process

At Palo, we don't just create chess boards — we craft stories in wood and resin.

What began in a small workshop with a single mold has become a journey of precision, patience, and passion. Each Palo board is handmade from scratch, combining traditional woodworking with modern resin techniques.


Step 1: Design & Preparation


We begin with a carefully selected slab of natural wood, checking the grain, shape, and character. Every board starts with a unique vision.


Step 2: Molding & Casting


The wood is placed in a silicone mold, and premium epoxy resin is poured around it. This step requires precision, patience — and a steady hand.


Step 3: Milling & Shaping


Once hardened, we mill both sides for a perfect, flat surface and bevel the edges to give each board its elegant shape.


The Final Touch

From our hands to your game — each Palo board is one-of-a-kind, built to be played, displayed, and cherished for years.
