This was a birthday present for my brother who is a Game Fiend. I had this Sapeli sitting around and thought I could make it out of that. It turned out beautiful. I found that the grain really stands out if I put a thing coating of Red Mahogany stain on it. I didn’t like the typical piano hinge idea so I thought and I thought and I finally came up with four cables Gorilla glued into a tight fitting hole. The icing on the cake was when I found these miniature wooden skulls at a bead shop that I used for counters. The My brother and I get together at the coffee shop and play with it all the time.

That’s a pretty cool design … the wire hinges are an excellent choice … and the skull is only fitting … since the kids kill me at that game every time! lol
