Chinese checkers can be played with various approaches for pieces. We provide the option to have dowels or marbles, and a host of color options for each
Want to take it further? We provide options for custom dowel pieces that can be made of various types of woods. The unique grain and coloration of each providing the unique sets for each player. Purpleheart for one, cherry for another, etc.

Meet the Maker
Dibble Studios
As husband and wife, we're a pair of makers and crafters that love to build beautiful things that are a joy to look at, feel, and use.
We think there's a lot of joy in hand-made goods, whether it be art, furniture, trinket boxes, games, or some combination of all of these. Each variation represents the care and humanity that went in to it, the evidence of the attention to detail and skill of the builder.
Our little herd of pets join us in the shop to supervise our work and ensure we're thorough and punctual! Between our two cats, Tracer and Cricket, and our Shepard mutt pup Shasta, we stay well supervised in our crafts.
If you're after the hand-made, the elegant, the long-lasting, the timeless we want to work with you to design and make your next family heirloom.
How it’s Made
The board is made with solid wood with a variety of possibilities for this piece. I pick out beautiful boards and mill/process them to desired dimensions and create a single larger panel. From there, I cut out the holes, details, and board itself from that panel.
The pieces can be solid wood pegs, or an option of glass marbles. I don't make the marbles, but the pegs I do. Depending on the options, I either use dowels or turn custom pieces on the lathe depending on size.
