Popular Post Tomanydogs Posted December 10, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 We are a Catan family and everyone owns the game. My son asked me to cut the board pieces on wood. So I used 1/8 Baltic birch plywood and photocopied the pieces and glued them on. Then my son son jokingly requested a box to put the pieces in. So my husband and I thought that it would be a good challenge for us. The box is made from 3/4”Wormy Maple with stained 1/4” Baltic birch top and bottom. The containers inside the box are 3/4” Western Cedar. The walls I designed on paper in a basket weave. The box measures 18 1/4” X 12 1/4” and 3 3/4” tall. With all the board pieces inside it weighs 11.6 lbs. We used a hole saw bit for the holes in the box and the rest was scrolled. We used Amber Shellac for the finish, which is why the wormy maple has an amber tint to it. frankorona, new2woodwrk, ChelCass and 10 others 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were quite excited how the box turned out with all the individual holders. Edited December 12, 2020 by Tomanydogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
