How to build your very own Cornhole Game Set. (Also called Throwing Bags or The Beanbag Game)

Step 6 Almost Done

You could actually call the board done now and go play. However, the board will be much better if you sand the top smooth and either finish it or paint it. You need to use a high gloss finish so the bags will slide across the board. I highly recommend putting this finish on the game because it makes it look better, play better, and you can add a personal touch. (well, you can if you have better art skills than myself)

Take some wood putty and hide your screws, also this is the time to fill in any gouges in the game top. The more time you spend here the happier you'll be.

Start sanding. Then sand some more..... keep sanding........ OK, it's smooth.

Now, if you're going to use a clear finish like me and you want to paint a logo, sports team, alma mater, etc. on the board, now's the time. The finish will help protect it. Since I have no art skills, I went straight to the finish. I used left over gym floor finish left over from an earlier project, but you can use anything as long as it finishes to a smooth high gloss finish.

If you're using a high gloss paint, start slapping it on. When it's try, add your personalization and then it's GAME ON!!!!!
