I found a pretty good plan online for floor dominos. The kind you would use in a game. They are approx 2 3/4" wide by 5 1/2" long by 5/8" thick. I utilized pine for right now because I was trying things out and did not want to spend a lot of money right now.

I am trying to figure out what to use for a finish right now and how to color the pips. I was thinking that I would go to a craft store and buy some childrens paint to paint the pips. I am not sure if I should just leave them without a formal finish or should I put a coat of paste wax on them or maybe spray a few coats of shellac on them. Again trying to go the cheap route right now becuase not even sure if my son will like them. If he gets into it then maybe i would buy some maple or cherry to make nicer ones in the future.

Any thoughts? Thanks for any advice.
