This is going to be my next project…
A SENET game board. This is an ancient game believed to have originated in Egypt.
This is the Top for the game box
This will be the actual Gaming board. (This is the flipside of the top.)
Sticks are used in place of dice. Only 5 are needed but I had to have things symmetrical.
Game pieces are also used. There can either be 5 or 7 since there are several variations as to how the game is played.
I will be showing the finished product as soon as it is completed but this is a fairly long run due to the advanced V-carving.
Ok the first part of the gameboard went well as you can see.
I was very pleased.
I flipped the board for the Top of the box, and this happened…
The cut went way too deep. Not sure how when I went bac to CC I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. Sometimes this happens.
I had a weird grinding while jogging this may have knocked something wopper-jawed? re-initialized and all is well as far as I can tell. Have to recut the gameboard though. (@#&*$%#@)
Here is how the game sticks are going so far.
Also the Game Pieces are looking good too.
More to come…
Recut the gameboard. I changed the last graphic because I thought it looked too thin compared to the rest.
Flipping it over for the actual game top.
All that is left is to complete the box portion to hold the pieces and sticks.
BTW, I cut the sticks out on my table saw. I will be rounding the bottom of the sticks so they can’t land on a side. They will be face up or face down.
