For all the Scrabble fanatics out there, here's a creative use of concrete that could take your game to a whole new level. Sacramento architect Kristy McAuliffe created a 5-foot Scrabble board using poured concrete.
Using a wood frame, the concrete was poured and scored into 3 ¾-inch squares separated by ¼-inch joints. After curing, the squares were then colored using water-based concrete stains.
