Backgammon

My stab at a backgammon board, themed after the Liittle Painted Desert in Northern Az. Did all the design.

Hi, you just lay the side without chips on top of the other, and the strong magnets grab and bring them together. It doesn’t matter which side is on top, as the chip trays are just deep enough to allow the boards to close and not allow the chips to fall out of the bays.

Hey, I want to say thanks to everyone for the positive feedback. I have had my Glowforge Pro since 2021. I had absolutely no training or experience in lasers or design software; my kids talked me into this. But I really found a great hobby and have created and learned beyond what I could imagine. I have always been reluctant to post projects, just felt mine were never on a level that you see throughout the chat here! but after this experience, I will post more. Thanks for the comments and feedback!
