Just for Fun

Having in-laws from the mid-west has opened my eyes
to some new things, one of which is the game of Cornhole.
This is a yard game that uses bags
of corn and the game boards pictured below. The idea
is to toss your bag in the hole or
land it on the board. I apparently did not know this, because
when I played with my in-laws I wasn't able to do
either of those things. So, I knew I needed to
have a set to practice on before the next competition.

Since, I was already building a set, I built four more sets for the
rest of my family. The boards are constructed of Birch plywood,
Red Oak side boards, and Cherry inlays and
hole trim. I leveled the surface with
grain filler, and then finished the boards with
lacquer.

The boards are built to function like a suitcase. They attach to
one another for easy carry and storage. They also have
a rope that is measured to the correct
playing distance. I'm still terrible at the game, but I
love to play anyway.
