Mancala Boards in the Works

Mancala Board open and ready for play.

I have finally come up with a Mancala Board design that I really like. The board has a layered look to it. The playing pieces are pebbles I collected from gold mine tailing that were dredged from a creek in the 1800′s. The pebbles range from green to orange in color and some have some marbling.

I laminated two planks if contrasting wood together, in this case Black Walnut and Curly Soft Maple. The playing side of the board is the dark Black Walnut and the bottom of the cups show the contrasting Maple. The board folds for storage and held shut by rare earth magnets. It comes with a cloth bag to protect it in your travels. I will probably have them in the online stores in a few weeks.
