Catan board made on cnc (midwest.social)

The softwood kind of fuzzed out but otherwise everything turned out pretty good after a solid sanding. I used oak for the wood tiles, birch for the sheep and wheat, and ash for the ore with various stains for each

One of the better looking Catan boards I've seen. Nice job.

Thanks, appreciate the kind words. I actually took someone elses cut patterns and modified it to have indents for roads, settlements and cities. No need to recreate the wheel

The colors work out well, too - good color wheel combinations!

That’s awesome!! Great job.

Looks fantastic, the idea and craftsmanship is great. But to be completely honest, I think I would prefer actually playing on the base game. Although I don’t really play Catan that often, if you play it regularly you might be sick of the base board I guess.

The regular board falls apart when you roll dice onto it this looks much more stable

The old one, yes. The new ones have a connected water border (much like this one).

Shouldn't some tiles be green for sheep? I get that white could be wool/sheep but personally I'm used to seeing green.

Otherwise love it

It does look like it could use a bit more colour, maybe even the lumber tiles could be green since it's forests.

Beautiful. Which CNC did you use?

you made a catan board during consensual non-consent?
