Bob sorry it took me so long to answer your questions but I have been redoing showers for a friend but I have some time today so here it goes.
The bits that I used were 1/16, 1/8, 1/4 up spiral, 1 ¼ mortising & 60 degree V bit. The 1/16 up spiral was used to pocket & cut the letters. 1/8 up spiral was used to drill peg holes to fit golf tees and to make the blocks that hold the nut & bolt and to pocket the holes used for the nut and bolt blocks. 1/4 up spiral to pocket for cards, pegs, center of the base where the playing board fits and to cut the playing board and base from the blanks. The 11/4 mortising bit for the rough cut in the center of the base where the playing board fits. The V-bit to carve the lines, skunk lines and to detail the outside edge of the playing board.
As for finish I sprayed sanding sealer and 10 to 15 coats of clear lacquer. I hope this answers your questions if you have any that I missed please ask.

Rick
