Step 11Finishing touches
For decoration I added some brass plugs to the corners on two sides. The technical term is a "pinned rabbit joint" Besides decoration, it helps to tell which way to orient the board when playing. To add the plugs, just find a drill bit that is the same diameter as your brass rod, drill the hole and plug it up.
The board should be sanded nice and smooth, removing all spliters etc.
Next step is to choose a finish. I went with a mineral oil finish to bring out the colors of the woods I chose. I decided not to lacquer it, because I want it to breathe.
The final step is to add rubber feet to the corners of the board. This elevates it so that the acoustics work. You can pick these up at a hardware store.
