Another great project Ellen!
Your wood selection is super!
That purpleheart strip really sets it off.
It was funny reading your comment about making an easy project more difficult.
I thought I was the only one who did that.

Great Job !

That is Beautiful, Ellen! I’ve never heard of that game either, but I suspect locating all the cups precisely must have been quite a challenge… Great Job!!

Great job Ellen I like the different wood.

This looks like a fine piece of workmanship. And now I have another game to check out. My family is “game crazy” and they love it when I introduce new games to them.

Well done. Very nice wood combination.

I don’t know what it does, but it looks good.

now i hope when you make the bag for this..its not in the wood shop…...cuz i figure a sewing machine is coming into the picture..if it don’t make saw dust..it don’t belong in the shop…lol…...i did take a sewing class in high school…broke the needle…when i went to change it..i accidentally hit the petal..and the large broken part went through my finger…..talk about exciting….ye haw on that one…lol…......just don’t sew to much…its belittling of a wood worker…lol….griSSMAN….......
