A common lurker, I decided to post some pictures from a recent project.


Made entirely from walnut and maple, this "game set" was constructed of right at 162 pieces (not including the chess pieces I'm currently working on).

The backgammon board is typically the side that I have up, but when turned over, it exposes the chess/checkers board as well as the cribbage board.

The dimensions are 29" across x 17.5" deep x 2" thick (open). When closed, it's held shut by rare earth magnets. It weighs in at around 19 pounds.

Quite a bit of fun. All comments welcome.

Very nice Scott. Is this solid or veneer. I've been thinking of doing a chess/backgammon board, but was planning on veneer.

Thanks. It is solid.
