Walnut Aggravation Board

Very nice work, the paint look great did you paint and then sand it?

Great looking board! But it looks like you missed a green dot. How is the game played?

I’ve never played this game but the board looks amazing.

For the first ones, (Oak) I used a tung oil varnish for a couple of coats, sanded in between, then rubbed in some Howard Feed-n-Wax polish to let it soak in good and cover the end grain of the marble holes, then just painted two coats of the holes. For the final one (Walnut) I used a bunch of coats of polyurethane (I think this gave it a very tough outer surface to protect it from kid damage. Did Thick Poly coat sand w/200, poly sand w/320, poly sand w/400, poly rub with fine wire wool, then coat with Howard Feed-n-Wax and then paint on top of that.

If I do it again I think I would like to try painting the holes first with several coats, then putting the poly on top of that, but i think it will work just fine either way.

Good looking board. I used to call it dadblamit. Got to keep a cool head with no temper to play this game.

Amazing board! Like the wood grain, design and finish. Hard to get bored to play this kind of board.

Nice job. We love this game. My prototype is out of mdf but since I ran out of time this year, it’s what we use!
