Meranti Dart Board Cabinet

Nicely done! :D

-- Adventure? Heh! Excitement? Heh! A Woodworker craves not these things!

Simple and attractive design. Good job on the construction The relief carving came out great. Nice work. Is this wood from the mahagany family?

Tight job, Art. Good opportunity for a “hidden” compartment in the top.

I haven’t seen (or heard of) meranti before. It’s not commercially available in my area. I just googled it and found that it comes from Asia and is akin to the magnolia. I am always interested in new materials. How does it stain? Does it tend to blotch?

Good Job Art.
The fit and finish is very nice!

I would be afraid to use the dart board and miss….
It would be full of little holes in no time!

That flourish near the top is cool too.

Art, another beautiful project. Great job on your carving too. Always look forward to your next.

Looks great. I can guarentee you that the cabinet would have more holes then the dart board if I played. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Well Done Art
Looks really good,

Yep, it would be full of small holes in no time here too. But I would call them ‘worm holes’ to give it more character and more value !!! (can’t remember who always look for worm holes !)

Nice work that inspires me a lot. I have a plain dart board on a basement wall.

No shelf for the Budweiser bottles ?

Best,

Serge

very nice – i’ve been contimplating one of these for some time – but as others have stated – i’m afraid the wood would split from repeated misses – even the best shots put darts in the wall – love the carving as well art -beautiful work

VERY NICE! I just finished one in oak but being a newbe it’s not quite as elaborate as yours.

Nicely done, Art. I like the carving, and the choice of wood. I’ve never used Meranti before, but now I’m thinking it might be worth checking out.
