A group of our community health doctors was planning some activities for the tribal children in
Javadhi hills. One of the activities involved an outdoor game that required dice. This had to be visible and had to be large.
I made this from a cuboidal beam of neem wood. I cut it out with a jigsaw to get rough cut cubes. This was then sanded down using a belt sander. The edges rounded with a router and the holes drilled with a drill press.
It was left unfinished as it was going to be thrown a lot on the ground.
It was quite useful in the field.

Really appreciable one. Very impressive making of the dice with wooden thing. It is very easy to play for the children also. Thanks for sharing this helpful post.
