 ==== Materials ====
 === Wood - Playing surface and gutter ===
+mm Marine grade plywood is $60.65, Premium is $29.75 or $35.25.
+I don't know why the bigger piece of premium ply is cheaper. I think I'll just pick a piece that looks nice.

+Many builds don't have two layers underneath the centre section of the board, rather they use offcuts to form the rim and glue it together. I think I might make mine out of two circles of thinner (10mm? 8mm?) ply glued together. This gives me continuous grain in the gutter, and is faster to build.
 === Wood - Edge ===
+{{:projects:crokinole_board:pasted:20190701-122553.png}}
+Soak it in hot water. Bend it around a round thing. Circumference is 2155mm, and I want two layers of this, so two 2.4m lengths. Cut both in half after bending. Offset joins 90°.
+People also talk of ammonia for softening wood for bending. Sounds smelly.
 === Stain ===
+I want two different colours, lighter on the playing surface and darker in the gutter. Either two stains, or just a dark one on the gutter.
 === Varnish ===
+Water based polyurethane:
+  * + Dries quicker,
+  * + Smells less,
+  * - Double the price.
 === Wax ===
+Carnauba wax, no cleaning agent.

+=== Disks ===
+Buy them pre-made.
+=== Posts ===
+Vinyl tube over dowel pins.
+=== Lines ===
+I'll cut the lines in with the router, do a few coats of varnish, then fill in the grooves with some varnish whitened with titanium dioxide? Maybe?
