Alligator Backgammon

Handmade Alligator Backgammon

Due to the nature of the material and the bespoke nature of our products; our Alligator Backgammon can't often be bought off the shelf. Perfection takes time, skilled craftsmen and Alligator, which we try not to hold in stock.

Large Backgammons often require Alligators over 50 years old to be able to achieve the cuts required for the cases. The reason behind this is to ensure that the spine of the skin follows the spine of the case exactly. Often many skins are required to make an alligator backgammon board as there are areas of the hide which are unusable. This can range from scars or injuries accrued over the alligators lifetime or places where the scales are too unsuitable for cutting.
