Cornhole, Bean Bags, Tailgate Toss or just Bags .. whatever you call it it’s all the same game and it’s plain fun!
Here is my latest creation – a tribute to my favorite team – the New York Yankees .. the Mrs finally said it was ok to go ahead and make myself a set between customer orders so I grabbed the chance and ran with it. Simple box construction using 1×4 select pine and a 1/2” MDO top. The corners are mitered and biscuited for strengh with the top set into a rabbet and reinforced from underneath to eliminate the annoying bounce you normally get from tossing the bags. Designs hand-drawn and painted and, at least in my opinion, almost too nice to play on… almost!
Best part is I managed to finish this set just in time for this weekend’s series against Boston …
Thanks for looking

Hi Dan;
I hope whatever you’re throwing at it is just as nice!

Those are cool toss boards. I tried my luck at a couple of double hole toss boxes that I carpeted because I used two 3 1/2 inch spacers as toss pieces. It helps them not bounce off into oblivion. Kind of neat games. Yours are more specific and have a tradition tying them to your favorite teams. Really cool.
