Technique for lines on boards
I'm making some Jokers and Pegs (https://www.terapeak.com/worth/pegs-and-
jokers-board-game-6-player-hand-crafted-in-usa-complete-game/171014828318/) game boards for a friend. What are some (easy / cheap) methods of adding lines to the rows of holes which would look nice? Pens or painting might bleed out and be fuzzy. Pinstriping tape after holes are drilled would mean cutting through at each hole (lots of holes for 6 boards). Tape before holes are drilled might mean the tape would pull up. The boards are baltic birch, if that matters. |

The thing I'd be tempted to try if I didn't want to attempt a proper inlay job would be to route grooves, fill with colored epoxy, sand flat, then drill peg holes. |

I wouldn't attempt an inlay but IMO, you're on the right track. I think laminated stained/died pieces would look cool. |

Pens or would first put on a clear coat then use painted lines using quality paint then fix it with one or more clear coats pretty easy and cheap i paint on wood like this and use very cheap hobby paint and do not even do the first clear coat but do fix with final clear coats tempera paint i think is the stuff i used because the colors are very bright getting the right applicator is important if you want sharp lines |
