Any body know of a Website that offers unique, custom boards, etc? http://www.backgammon-boards.co.uk/frames.html http://home.att.net/%7Eimtrex/ http://sviloboards.tripod.com/Svilo_boards/ http://www.hector-saxe.com/ plus various other links at http://www.back-gammon.info/ Once you've seen the workmanship and smelt the leather of David's boards you'll be hard pushed to find anything nicer, though Zavoral boards look great, too.
