Members CitizenKate Posted May 11, 2008 Members Report Posted May 11, 2008 I finally got the frame and the rest of the finishing touches on my Backgammon board. I decided, for this project, to put together an entire game, including the dice, "checkers", etc. (Usually I just make the boards, and the people who buy them combine them with their own playing pieces). I also made some little leather bags for the pieces. Yes, I thought about making dice shakers, ala Al Stohlman, but I failed miserably! LOL I'll have to keep working on those... Kate Quote

Members CitizenKate Posted May 11, 2008 Author Members Report Posted May 11, 2008 Thanks for the kind words, everyone. David mentioned awhile back that he'd like to see a tutorial on making game boards. Next one I make, I'll put together a photo demo of the process. Also, for anyone else interested in doing a project like this, the pattern for this design and a couple of my other game boards are going to be published in a book that is scheduled to come out sometime next year, along with detailed instructions for making them. (Sorry - shameless book plug... ) Kate Quote

Members Gremlin Posted May 11, 2008 Members Report Posted May 11, 2008 Nicest board I've ever seen. I really like the color choices. Looks natural yet still has the necessary definition necessary for the game. Quote Gremlin's Custom Leather Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
