Antique Barnwood Wooden Game Boards

History may be irreplaceable, but you can get a little plank of it back at J'Ollie Primitives with our hand-crafted games and primitive decor. There's an art to re-creating those classic, imaginative wooden game boards, as their rugged good looks can attest. It's harder still to build a long, storied past into these games, but we at J'Ollie Primitives' believe we've come just about as close as any simple country folk can. Many of our rustic painted game boards are constructed of reclaimed barnwood, touched by the ghosts of the past and infused with a century of rich history. What stories would these aged woods tell about our past if they could? Perhaps they watched over a hardworking Oklahoma dustbowl farmer or coyly sheltered a 1920s rum-runner's Prohibition-era activities. One thing is for sure: You won't get that kind of history in cut cardboard or injection-molded plastic - no matter how many times it's been recycled!

Irresistible Painted Game Boards

There's an inimitable look, feel and - well, let's call it personality - to wood handmade games. The distressed wood of our hand painted game boards is popping with folksy flavor, and yet each piece is so quaint and charming you won't be able to resist the urge to pick up the pieces and play a round or two. And why not go for it? They may be historic in character, but they're not dainty by any stretch of the imagination. These wooden game boards are constructed the way they were made back in the days when a solo master craftsman hunkered over a well-worn wood work bench and built each set into a product he could be proud to put his name on. They were made to grow old right along with you - and last long enough to entertain future generations.
