Shut-The-Box

[oldhudson]

I made this little project a couple weeks ago. The plans came from Steve at Woodworking for Mere Mortals. The sides are 1/2" cherry, the tiles and in-lay are walnut and the top and bottom panels are 1/4" birch mdf core pw. The numbers were applied with rubber stamps using a homemade ink pad and acrylic paint. I sprayed lacquer on the tiles and used a Minwax oil finish on the rest of the box. Hinges and hasp from Rockler. Shut-the-Box is a simple game played in English pubs with dice and a game board like this, although I've seen several versions. Thanks for looking.

Very nice! I like the idea of a hinged box. I’ve only made them open-faced

Great Job,  the addition of the top is a good idea.

Beautiful job. I enjoy playing that with my 8 year old grandson. It helps with simple addition.

Thank you so much for the instructions for the shut the box game!

I believe that is the fanciest shut the box game I have ever seen.
Great work! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse
