00739, Carrom

This is from a while back, but left without posting.

A present for a friend - which is fine, until you consider giving someone a really big object and effectively saying, "Here, put this somewhere in your house and let it define you daily - if only because of how much space it takes up."

Oh, and it's Carrom. Think pool meets air hockey. The playing pieces are basically draughts counters.

Birch ply playing surface +walnut cushions = nice:





The design is now a standard for any on-wood graphics for me - multiple, sanded coats of varnish, followed by graphics airbrushed through stencils, followed by multiple, sanded coats of varnish. A graphics sandwich, if you will - meaning the paint won't soak into the wood, degrading the sharpness of the design, and the top coat protects against wear.
