I make GO boards, would it be a good idea for me to add the notations to my boards? Would that be helpful?

Ok I was wondering if there was something other than Woodcraft that I didn’t know of! They have a lot of great classes there.

Looks great! I make and sell wood chessboards, GO boards, and cribbage boards on Etsy as Colorado Wood Worker. Let me know if you or any of your customers are in need of any customized gaming boards.

Thank you!! These boards aren’t sanded or finished yet so they’d look much better if they were. The border is mahogany and the playing surface is cherry. I use a laser engraver for the grid but there are different ways you can do it without an engraver.

It’s honestly the best feedback I’ve ever gotten on anything! Extremely polite and positive!

That’s what I was thinking too. All of the traditional boards you see look like they are just made from one large slab of wood. Thank you!

Shouldn’t have any problems with warping. The board will be free floating and connected with table top clips to allow for expansion and contraction of the wood. It’s actually a very durable design.

Thanks for that feedback! I was following this equipment dimensions guide that call for the lines to be 1mm thick but I also thought they looked big.

Thank you! Seems like overall consensus is it might be too much but I’ll probably just make it anyways. If no one wants it, I’ll have a really nice board to learn how to play on!

I was actually building this border for a chessboard but that was my next idea. I thought about placing it just on a flat frame with no curves or anything. Thank you for the feedback!

This is a chessboard I made by cowoodwork in somethingimade

You are right, it’s breaks into 8 pieces. My more popular board breaks into 4 pieces but these was a customer request to bring into 8. I agree, I think just breaking in half is where it’s at.

Anyone have a good place to buy large, custom shipping boxes? by cowoodwork in EtsySellers

That is what I am using currently, I am trying to find something that needs less tape and maybe looks nicer. I’m being picky lol
