I love board games, and Settlers of Catan is definitely one of my favorites. I got inspired from seeing other people’s home made Catan boards and decided to give it a try. I started with a blank wood board that I ordered from Etsy. I then worked several iterations of designs for the different pieces on paper. Once I was satisfied, I hand drew the each design on the hexagons with pencil and burned them into the wood with a soldering iron. Sarah and I then sampled all of the wood stains we had from old projects and picked what we thought would fit each piece. Finished it with a couple of coats of gloss poly.
