Dart Board Surround

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.

Too pretty to throw darts at.

That should save the walls! Good job.

Great solution, and a nice job.

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.

Syrofoam! That’s my solution to my 1/4” cork board, THANKS

-- Jen loves wood!

I’m curious if you framed out the cork on the wall or if you mounted it on a board and then framed it out? This is my weekend project thanks for the nice photo

Thanks

Thanks dadw3boys,

The ‘base’ layer is 1/2” ply, then a layer of 1/2” foam insulation then the cork. There is a ring of 1/2” ply around the foam layer that I used as a nailer for the exposed trim. The entire unit is pretty heavy so I hung it with a French cleat that spans the entire back of the board. Good luck this weekend!
