DB15 Prize Archive - Giveaway: Hardwood Dice Trays with Epoxy Inlay

This pair of hardwood dice trays are perfect for all kinds of tabletop gaming. They measure 12" by 12". The base is made of Bloodwood (a South American hardwood known for its strength, hardness, and vivid crimson colour), while the edges are made from Black Walnut (a North American hardwood favored by woodworkers for its beautiful colour, dimensional stability and shock resistance).
The inlays were carved using a CNC router, then filled with epoxy tinted with mica powder ( Diamond Battleship Grey, is you are interested in the exact pigment). This process creates a very detailed and precise illustration, as well as a strong chemical bond to keep the inlay inside the tray.
While all materials were chosen to stand up to furious dice-rolling action, the use of very heavy or pointed dice will eventually make small dents in the wood, so should be avoided if possible. If the trays start to accumulate scratches, a simple polish with a bees wax/mineral oil finish should buff them back to their previous glory.
Happy rolling!
I started woodworking after I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and had to leave my job. It gave me a creative outlet and a sense of accomplishment that is easy to lose after being diagnosed with a life changing condition. While fatigue and spinning blade might not be the ideal mix, I still have all my fingers and have made some people very happy.
I hope my donation can raise some money for Child's Play and that whoever gets it will be very happy with what I have made.
