Drueke

Fine chess boards could only be found in Europe before William F. Drueke made use of the world famous wood turners and craftsman of Grand Rapids, Michigan to begin producing quality wooden chess boards and pieces in 1914. For nearly 100 years since then Drueke chess boards have been the standard by which all other wooden chess boards in America are measured. Passing down woodworking techniques and a pride in producing only top-quality work through three generations, Drueke has continued to set the bar for chess sets while expanding their lineup to include many other popular games such as cribbage, backgammon, and dominoes.
