    Step 4: Backside

    After i carve the front side of Game board, I ipped the piece over and carve a Dragon on the back side. I use a 30*
    Engraving bit, but could be done with a 60* V-bit

    I also nish cutting the piece out from the backside, then using a ush trim router bit on the router table. Also cut a 3/8"
    radius on both sides with the router.

    Step 5: Paint and Sand

    I painted the Dragon with Black craft paint, before sanding.

    Note I did sand in the vcarve a little before painting

    After the paint dried, I sanded the hole piece with 220 grit sandpaper, using a electric sander where possible and then
    hand sanded the rest.

    Step 6: Wood Conditioner

    I applied a coat of wood conditioner, as per instructions on can

    Step 7: Stain

    After letting wood conditioner set for recommended time, I applied Minwax Ipswich Pine Stain, Let dry overnight and
    then sprayed a coat of Clear sealer on it.

    Step 8: Game Time

    Now is the time to enjoy your hard work, playing a game of Chinese Checkers bring back old childhood memories.

    But when you are not playing, don't put the game in a drawer, hang it up on the wall for decoration.
