For interested woodworkers, here's a nice post-mortem of someone's attempt at making a Crokinole board: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/731671/postmortem-on-the-hi... (Complete with creating a set of jigs from scratch)

Really shows how much has gone into a silly flicking game you play at the pub.

I, as a fledgling woodworker, was able to make my own board with some guidance from a friend. It's definitely a rewarding and educational project! Plus it makes a nice wall decoration when not in use. I used Purple Heart wood for the edges, which looks gorgeous but was difficult to work with. It took a few days of 3-4 hour blocks, due to a busy schedule, so a more experienced woodworker should be able to do one pretty easily.
