Buck & Doe Cornhole Boards

Buck & Doe Cornhole Boards
 
Custom Cornhole for entertaining the wedding guests. My husband built the boards and I painted the designs. I made the bags and the whole family pitched in with sanding the boards and dividing the corn and filling the bags.
 
 
One sheet of plywood, cut to size for 2 boards. We loved the knots in the wood because we wanted the old country look.
 

 
2 x 4's Were used for the frame, the sheets were screwed & glued into place
 
 
The legs were screwed into the back side and made to fold in for transport & easy storage.
 

 
The family helped to separate the corn & sunflower seeds we had a bag of mix feed (the groom bought for his critters)

 
The wooden surface was sanded & then I stenciled the buck & doe love design in green & purple. I made a stencil with hard plastic I got from an old folder. I painted the holes & created a frame in the same colors.

 
After the painting was done we sealed the design & wood with polyurethane, about 3-4 coat with light sanding between coats.
 

 
The cornhole game was a big hit at the wedding and the custom design complemented the whole country theme.
 



 
 I made the cornhole bags out of strong cotton in the same colors as the designs. They are all double stitched for extra durability.
 
 
Cornhole bags in olive green & eggplant purple.

 
The bags are available on Etsy (SOLD 9/22/14) but send me a message if you want custom colors
