Large Custom Four Person Dark Walnut Cribbage Board

This Large custom four person cribbage board has made its way to its new home in Denver, Colorado as a retirement gift.
The board was made out of dark walnut and roughly measured in at 32 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 15/16 inch thick.  It was accompanied with custom 3/16 inch metal pegs and a deck of cards.



This is the quote that they chose to have engraved on it, along with two small photo's
AGE IS AN ISSUE OF MIND OVER
MATTER.  IF YOU DON’T MIND ....
IT DOESN’T MATTER.
