Custom Birds Eye Maple Round Cribbage Board

This request is being made for a group of Navy Submariners to be given as a retirement gift. The lasered image is an impression of Neptune.  It was created by  Northern Lights Engraving on an Epilog laser machine.

It  was created using a circular design with 14 inch diameter and a four track layout.  Storage is provided with a slot on the back of the board.
Birdseye Maple was the wood of choice and really works up nice.
Once completed it was finished with a hand rubbed polyurethane coat.



Just because I have already been asked, I asked the client and this is the answer to the question on the bottom of the board.
Admiral Eugene Fluckey, he was a WW2 submarine captain that sunk the most tonnage out of all the US fleet and destroyed a train. A joke in the office when we get caught up in the bureaucracy is what would Fluckey do? Not worry about safety, having enough people or permission just go out and get the job done.
Now we all know.

Just back from the laser shop

Just back from drilling and outlining the board.

The birds eye maple has been selected and glued up
This is the layout I created on the computer.

This is the logo I started with.

Custom Hard Maple/Oak Slide Out Cutting Board

This custom cutting board was created to replace the old worn out one  and is on its way to Washington State to its new home.

It slides into the counter top for storage and has fingers pulls on each side opposite ends so it can be flipped and used both ways.  It can also be pulled out for use on the counter or somewhere else.

The center portion is made using hard maple with oak being used for the breadboard ends.  Breadboard ends help keep the board flat and add color.

The measurements are: 17 3/4" wide x 24 1/2" long, and 3/4" thick.  Once completed a food grade mineral oil is applied to preserve the wood.

Custom Made Over-sink Cutting Board

Hello Dave,
 The board arrived today. Many thanks! It fits beautifully, and the thickness, by chance, matches the thickness of the granite counter, so it makes virtually a continuous surface from counter onto the board over the sink.


Cheers,
Mel
This board was created out of hard maple and cut to the specific requests of the client. 18 1/8 inches long and  15 5/8 inches wide. It was designed to fit on top of an under counter mounted sink.  The angled corners were created to make it easy to flip the board.  The curved cut out on the upper corner was cut to make it easy to clear the board.

Sanding and oiling has been done
