Hello to all the radical Boardcrafting Backers!
Just a quick update - I'll recap my status as I just wrote in a comment on the last update:
I am working as fast as I can and have only about 60 more Kickstarter rewards to deliver (down from 307).
For the Total Completion rewards remaining (roughly 30), I have 10 that are undergoing assembly, but unfortunately after that, there will be a lag delivering the remainder, as my latest batch of birch is rejecting the contact paper, for an unknown reason - perhaps too much tung oil was used. I will likely have to get a new batch of wood.
I want to make quality my highest priority, and this is one of those decisions where delivery date suffers so that quality can be maintained.
I am trying to send them out on a first-come, first-served basis, though some with special options I've set aside to the end.
I wish I could give you a locked-in 100% guaranteed delivery date, but I'm not able to right now.
As always, you all have my everlasting thanks.
Shandy
How long until I get my board?
I’m sure that’s what a lot of my backers are asking themselves right now. I really wish I was organized enough to have definitive answers. Right now, the best I can do is give some details of the state of affairs.
There are 7 Grand Tiles Kits and 15 Frame Kits packaged up and ready to ship. They should go into the mail today or tomorrow.
There are components for 13 Total Completion rewards ready to be assembled.
Alex at Pagoda Arts is doing a diligent, high quality job cutting out 50 remaining leather backings and some Total Completion components at his laser cutter.
Meanwhile, I have been lasering the tiles for the Fancywood Edition rewards at TechShop. There was a slight problem doing the poplar planks, which was a setback, but I hope to be done the tiles and move on to the inscriptions this week.
As always, I'll try to keep status updates frequent at my blog, http://boardcrafting.com

Personal Delivery and a Day of Play. I will hand-deliver the Fancywood Edition to your door, anywhere in the US or Canada, and I will be wearing my super embarrassing Catan costume. I will then play Catan with you, teaching you and your friends all the strategy and tricks I know.
