backgammon open

Inside is quarter sawn white oak, black walnut, maple and mahogany. I used barrel hinges and rare earth magnets that hold the box together when closed.

Samantha, this is beautiful work. Did you design it yourself or use a plan? I have been wanting to make one of these but I cannot find a plan and it is a bit daunting for me.

Hi there, thank you! I couldn't find a plan either and so I pretty much designed it myself, although I looked at a lot of game boards on-line to get ideas that I liked. I've never played myself so I was a little lost when a friend asked me to build one, it was challenging. It was also my first attempt at inlay work. I took a bunch of photos along the way (mostly in case I wanted to make another one some day). I can send you a bunch more pics if you like, that will give you an idea of how I laid it out, measurements, etc. Let me know and thanks again.
