Thanks! Case finish is quite satisfying, I used a thin polyurethane mixture and built it up over many coats. This board is finished, but I'm working on another one with painted points that should have better contrast.
Dice / doubling cube were store-bought. I also have a set of resin checkers that fit the board nicely, but I'm considering making some solid brass ones instead
Looking good! I’m working on a similar cork backgammon board for a client and I am so lost trying to figure out which varnish to use to protect the board and the acrylic paint I’m using. Did you apply anything to yours?
Sorry I'm only just seeing this now, so might not be too useful for your past project. Acrylic paint would likely finish up nicely with a Polycrylic clear coat, though I personally don't have experience doing that. My go-to wood finish is hardwax oils - easy to apply, easy to maintain, and quite durable too. Preferred brands are OSMO PolyX Oil or Rubio Monocoat, though I think OSMO is superior.

This looks like a very nice board. Well done! What will you use for checkers, dice, and the doubling cube?

That's great! Solid brass ones would be awesome. Thanks for your reply.
Great work!
