Got tired of friends missing the board and hitting the wall in my newly finished bar. I went to the office supply store ad bought the largest peg board they had. I ripped off the cheap plastic frame and cut it to size with a razor knife. Unfortunately, the cork was only about 1/4” thick so, I backed it with a piece of 2” rigid foam insulation. Wrapped the entire thing with pine and drilled a few holes in the bottom trim to store the darts. Sprayed it with a few coats of Krylon gloss black. It’s hung with a French cleat.

That is super cool Jason. Very creative.
Next time you need cork board, look for a product called Novacork. It is a product made by the Homasote company. It is basically cork veneered onto 1/2” homasote. Homasote is nothing but a dense compressed paper product that is usually used in sound proofing in commercial buildings.
Have fun playing darts. I am waiting for the day that I can set something like that up in my house.

Jason looks great. I’ll keep this idea in mind.
Can’t wait to finish my basement to get my dart board back on the wall.
Welcome to Lumber Jocks btw.

I’d still miss the board.
You made the process sound like it took you 5 min. to do – including the drive time!!
Impressive end result.

Very Nice… Now all I have to do is find a room to throw darts in for my own board.
