Help With Choosing a Board Color

I need some help in choosing a good board color or wood to match nicely with this HoS Fischer Spassky Commemorative set in Golden Rosewood.

I got this set on Clearance in the summer to replace a Blood Rosewood Zagreb set I had sold.  The intent was for a set that would work nicely with this Maple, Mahogany folding board

Both pictures are color accurate to the actual equipment.

The Golden Rosewood is of a high quality and looks nicer than any other Golden Rosewood or Sheesham wood I have seen in other sets.

Anyway, I pulled this setup out a few nights ago and kind of feel the board is just a bit too light in coloring for the set.

What do you folks think?

Without the set on the board its hard to tell. A Walnut & Maple board should work just fine. My Dubrovnik looks fine on it with Golden Rosewood.

Here's my CB sheesham Dubro on a maple and black walnut Drueke.

Thanks guys.  I do have a couple of walnut boards, including Drueke.  I'll try to match those up.

I think you have answered this before but where did you get that board in a folding version? I have the full board, without the fold, but would love to have a folding version of it.

The House of Staunton sells this board, Maple/Mahagony in the folding version.  They also have the folding board in Mahagony/Maple (with a Mahogany border), Walnut/Maple and African Pallisander/Maple.

If you are going to buy one of these folding, wood boards I would suggest you also look at buying their Deluxe Tournament bag.  This bag carries the folding wood boards along with a set or sets and clock very well.

Thanks, VL. Good luck on your quest. In the alternative, the Drueke board with 2.25" squares comes on Ebay every so often. The last one sold last week for something less than $300. And there are more frugal options in walnut and maple available from most of the major online vendors.

VL, here's one example...

I think I have a similar board to that and a set with a similar Sheesham set of dark pieces.  Here are a couple of pictures I have taken of them:

Possible, your set looks darker than the one I have.  The board is very similar if not just the same.

Sometimes the Sheesham is darker like your set.

By the way, is that a TARDIS I see in the background of the first picture?  Dr. Who?

Yep!
