Some late night game board staining

Decided to stay up late and get some staining done.  Below is a picture of our first 11 x 11 hnefatafl board. In the unstained shot you also see four 9 x 9 tablut boards.  I just finished wiping down the stained hnefatfal board about 10 minutes ago.  We'll let it dry for about 72 hours, then apply a water-based polycrylic that will give the gameboard a nice looking finished look.

Gluing the Tablut Frame

Finally got around to gluing the frame for the Tablut board.  The frame is only about half an inch thick at its widest, so my corner straps were a little tricky to get in place. 

The individual squares for this board are 1 1/4 inches on a side, and the overall gameboard is just under 12" x 12" with the frame.

Finished Tablut board

Well, mostly finished. The 9x9 gameboard is still drying (applied a coat of danish oil).  Played around with a few different router settings before settling on a border frame that we liked. Once it's dried and glued, we'll probably add a high gloss or semi gloss finish to it.
