Ye Olde Corn Hole… sigh





I have to admit that I cannot stand the official name of the bean-bag-toss-game: Cornholeing. But it is fun to play. My sister (lovely, though not pictured) wanted some help making a couple for her husband’s birthday (also lovely, also not pictured). So she came over and we made a pretty solid prototype together. Simple hole in a board with a kickstand on the back. So a bit later I refined the design and moved onto the real challenge—the finish. Multiple coated of stain and poly, topped with latex primer, and stripes. My sisters family is really into this new sport, not sure what it's called. Apparently it's a bunch of guys skating around on ice beating the crap out of each other. Curling? Anyway, I made some decals and resealed the whole shebang one last time. Not too shabby.

Oh, and by the way GO BLUES!
