Throwing Target

We wanted a bigger target for the throwing implements.  So I made one.  The youngest, at age almost-8 was actually a big help with placing all these end-grain sections of 2x3 lumber.

There are about 250 pieces of wood, each glued together.  The target area measures 33" x 34.5"

What doesn't show is the two hinged legs in the back.  They are braced against the hillside behind the target.  

I'm looking forward to trying it out tomorrow!

    What kind of glue and how did it hold with the throwing knives?

      Brett, I’m sorry I didn’t see your question until now! I used Titebond II, but if I do it over I’ll use Liquid Nails. The Titebond goes gooshy in the rain, even though it is supposed to be fairly waterproof.
