A co-worker and his family are extreemly competative (read Rabid) backgammon players.

He wanted something different to use for his doubling cube.

He came up with the design. I made them out of Bubinga. They are 3½ inches across the flats and 2 inches thick, finished with Shellac

I had the numbers and letters laser engraved, (wish I had Darren Wright's CNC Router, that laser stuff isn't cheap!)

The 8 sided one is a Christmas gift for his parents, and the 6 sided is for himself.

Hope everyone here at FWW has a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year! :thumb:

Aw man...those pretty little bowl blanks will never be all that they could be. Such a loss, and it's all for some silly dice game. :rolleyes: :rofl:

The doublers both look great, Dan. :thumb: I'll bet they get lots of good use.
