Sets
Let me know what your dream set looks like and we will go from there!
Price depends on woods used and features desired.
Originally designed as an example set for the USTA 3D Design Contest, this set is 1/2 the size and weight of the commercial box, allowing you to take it anywhere. Features a 6x6 board with blockers to switch to 5x5, score counters, and removable piece trays to make playing as easy as carrying. I will gladly print you a copy if you would like. See the unboxing of Generation 1 here.
Update:
Generation 2 is here! Watch this 30 second YouTube video to see it in action.
**Files are available on my Patreon if you would like to print your own. Free download for all tiers $10 and up.
Redesigned in 2024, this set is used at conventions for all USTA events.
Featuring a vinyl board, high contrast & nigh-indestructible flats, and resin capstones; this set is made to be used!
A travel set with puzzle box elements, this set will delight any artificer in your life.

Capstones
Cost given is an estimate and does not include shipping or things like VAT. Fill out the contact form and I can get you a more accurate estimate.
Kilvin's Lamps Capstones ($100-150/pair (singles available also))
These light-up capstones are my game piece adaptation of Kilvin's Everburning Lamps from The Kingkiller Chronicle (the series where Tak originates). An amalgamation of copper, glass, and wire give these a fantasy/steampunk vibe, perfect for shelf and board. Which lamps will light up your future game nights?
These gems are a mix of hardwood, paint, suspended objects, resin, and lots of elbow grease. What type of facets do you fancy for your collection?
Starting with a block of rock and freeing the creature inside is a wonderful experience. I will attempt to make whatever you wish, but be aware that the stone composition will direct the final appearance. Care to tell me what creatures I can create for you?
Using the lathe or the CNC rotary module, I can turn a custom capstone out of a variety of materials or combinations. From exotic hardwoods to veneer-wrapped metal tubing to resin and beyond... just drop me a line and let's turn your game up a notch!
Made in the same mold as the US Tak Association tournament capstones, I can customize the resin to your liking. My favorites so far are Venus and Neptune and the Steampunk Gears, pictured in the slideshow. Maybe the ones I create for you will change my mind!
Boards
Some wordplay with my online handle (rabbitboy84), these boards are a great place to start your Tak upgrades. Made to work with the pieces that came in your commercial Tak set, the grid on this solid board is CNC cut and filled with colored resin of your choosing. I can also add further custom embellishments like 2-3 coats of clear resin on top for a glass-like appearance, laser engravings, metal inlay, etc.
Sold!
An enhanced and themed version of the Rabbitboard84, this board was made for GenCon 2022 and features a dark stain & weathered appearance, pearlescent blue resin, and a burned edge as if it had a close call in a sea battle (or perhaps a rowdy night). This particular one is sold, but I can remake a similar one if that is your desire!

Prototypes
Revealed at GenCon 2022, this desktop set features some puzzle box elements and a great theme (who doesn't like castles!?)
While still in the prototyping stages, I would be happy to continue development and get an improved version into your home.
A themed version of a board&bag set, this uses uniquely attached islands as the board, literally elevating your game play. The board/bag also functions with the classic commercial pieces.
