    Default Dartboard Cabinet Finished

    I thought I would post some pics of my dartboard cabinet I just finished. Its made from Cedar. Made a few mistakes as usual. In particular the doors could be closer together. The backing is plywood with 4 cork tiles glued. The dartboard is held by 4 screws through the backing.
    The doors are of 2 pieces biscuited together, the curve edge drawn using a compass, and a handheld router and a template made the simple decorative goove.
    I overdid the marking of the hinge mortises.
    Cedar has a lovely aroma, but is soft and dents/marks easily.
    I made 2 of these in fact and gave one to my brother-in-law. Sorry if the Union flags on the dart fins upset anyone.

    Nice cabinet mate!

    The dartboard is held by 4 screws through the backing
    I hope you used the supplied bracket and with one screw in the board so the board can still be rotated to allow for wear?

    I know it is your choice but, normally the 20 is red and black.

    Well spotted re 20 . I have moved the dartboard around a no. of times before the cabinet was made. It should be okay to relocate the board using the same drill holes in the backing board I would have thought.

    Thanks for the replies. The brick wall around the dartboard was becoming very pitted. Hence one of the reasons for the cabinet.
