junji :
i love the way you care about your family !
life is in the small things we share ,
and that you make things for and with them ,
are what they remember .
and what makes them better people !

patron,
If I can care my family with my woodworking, that will be my honer. But sometimes I can’t take good care because I spend too much time in the shop!!!
Yes, I do believe my kids will remember these gifts better than products we just buy.

Great looking game.

Neat little game, Junji. Try some India ink sometime, for a black dye, then seal with oil finish.
Thanks for the post.

Junji,
It looks like one of those games that can become addictive! Your kids will remember what you make for them.

Great little game with a VERY person touch.

He will love it more being made by you.

Keep up the great work.

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

Neat game, next time you want to try making wood dark, Sumi works beautifully. Makes the wood look like ebony when you put a glossy top coat on it. Oh yeah loved the clocks you posted recently too.

-- Ooo, er.

Another Great post and game! Now I’ll have to put his on ethe list too :-)) Happy Father’s Day Junji and all yoiu other Dads too.

Indeia Ink, I have never heard of it, but seems like almost the same thing we called SUMI just like Skarp is saying.

-- Junji Sugita from Japan, http://tetra.blog12.fc2.com/

Don,
Yes, you really become addictive. Last night my sister n law came over, and we just started this game as I wanted to show her what it is like. I was just showing so thought maybe 2-3 games, but she kept losing and couldn’t stop it finally until her kids asked her to go… And at last she asked me to bring the game with me the next time we go their house.

Scrappy,
This is a kind of games you can play at any age, so I hope my son will keep it long. I also have some extra balls when he loses some…

Skarp!

SUMI, I have never thought about it, and yes, I will try it the next time. I should have thought about it because I am keeping one bottle of sumi in my shop!!!

TopamaxSurvivor,
Happy fathers day to you too!
You must have a huge “what to make ” list, and that sounds really nice.

-- Junji Sugita from Japan, http://tetra.blog12.fc2.com/

I do have a large one, too many interests and I never get my honey dos done either ;-)) It’s not nice, i’m too far behind:-((

Junji, Thanks for the post. My parents had a game like this, forgot all about it. May have to think about making one as my daughter is currently working on learning to play tic-tac-toe.

Curiosity though what are the smaller pegs on the side used for? scoring?

TopamaxSurvivor,
Well, still I think people must have something to do, plans, goals, dreams. You have them a lot, meaning you are happy alive!!!

-- Junji Sugita from Japan, http://tetra.blog12.fc2.com/

Chris,
Yes, I made those little pieces for scoring. Only one ends have black inlay. So you win 3 games, you get one set. (but you don’t actually need it)
Guessing from your ID photo, your cute little baby looks like 1-2 years old, but she should have been older than that if she is learning to play tic-tac-toe. By the way, my daughter “three years old” also like this game, she is always throwing the balls everywhere. Well, everybody has so many different ways to enjoy it!

-- Junji Sugita from Japan, http://tetra.blog12.fc2.com/

Yes Junji, I guess I’m one of the lucky ones. I wake up in a good mood every morning and stay that way all day, day after day, year after year:-)) The only time I didn’t was when I was OD’d on Topamax :-((

TopamaxSurvivor,
That must have been tough time for you, but at least you have a long list to do… Yes, you are a lucky man, and I am also!

-- Junji Sugita from Japan, http://tetra.blog12.fc2.com/

So your sister-in-law liked the game….....great suggestion for her birthday!

Don,
Ah, good point! Thanks.
