Members tazzmann Posted May 12, 2008 Members Report Posted May 12, 2008 Beautiful board! My brother and I used to play backgammon as kids and loved it. Sure would have been nice playing on a board like this!

Members MadTailor Posted May 12, 2008 Members Report Posted May 12, 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 That is to nice to be played on Quote madtailorleather.com https://www.instagram.com/mad_tailor_leather/
TomSwede Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 WOW, that is a fantastic gorgoeous looking gameboard! Lot's of little detail and a very nice layout in design. Beautiful colouring and I really like the little bags you made too. They send the signal that you really thought of the comfort for the intended user I think.

Members Patrice Posted May 12, 2008 Members Report Posted May 12, 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.
