Great Job !!
I think drilling all those divots would be the bane of the board.
You and Lorna certainly have a lot of patience.
Love the Bush Oil finish, can’t wait to try some of mine.
What do you use for marbles ? How many are required for the game ?

I didn’t know what tock was. Had to google it and read about it in wikapedia. Super nice. You mention oak and how the customer requested it. It almost sounded like you would have chosen another wood. I’m actually rather fond of oak. It looks old fashioned to some people but have you noticed that it’s the one wood that does look old fashioned by at the same time never goes out of style. I love that it has a very pronounced grain and that it finished a beautiful color as it did here. I often use Waterlox. I think it’s similar but with a faster drying time. I see online that Bush oil gets great press from those who use it.
Looks like you’ll be getting a few more orders huh?

Chatoyance!?? That’s a good one. I’ve been around oak forever and never heard that one used to describe it. I’ll remember it though, especially if I dealing with jewelers and rock hounds. Nice job on the board. Like a previous poster, I hadn’t heard of this game before. May have to make one of these some day. My family likes marble games.

Thanks for posting our project Ellen. We were so pleased that the Bush sanding techniques we just learned about actually produced such a fantastic finish!

Very nice finish, Have to look into that Bush oil. Great job !!

Ellen/Lorna, great job. This presents so nicely. The quartersawn oak is beautiful alone but the Bush oil really enhances the grain. Add me to the list of those not knowing what tock is. It’s nice to know some folks are still enjoying simple family-oriented board games.

great job, these types of games are so much better for the family than the electronic games, you can talk and eat and enjoy each other’s company while playing.

-- Smitty!!!

Beautiful board, the figure really does show up in the pictures. Drilling all those holes would have driven me nuts. You two seem to have it all worked out though, you’re a great team.
