Custom Rhode Island Shaped Cribbage Board

This custom three person cribbage board is being made for a fellow Veteran just returning from serving a deployment in the Middle East.  They said many hours were spent playing and teaching cribbage while deployed.  This is a gift for one of their teammates who they taught.

The board is made out of maple and is cut into the shape of the State of Rhode Island.  It measures in at around 1 inch thick, 12 inches wide and 16 inches long.  The bottom right water area was left attached to keep that section from breaking off.

There is a slot on the back to store the custom metal pegs which comes with the board.

Custom North Carolina Shape Cribbage Board

This custom three person cribbage board was created in the shape of North Carolina to be given as a gift for a client.  The shape was done using a CNC router system.

The board measures in at  9 1/2 inches wide and 24 1/2 inches long and was being made out of hard maple.
There is custom slot on the back to store the custom metal pegs.

The board has been cut drilled,  Now time for sanding and finishing.




As you can see the layout changed a bit from the original layout.  The bit we use when doing the CNC work does not allow for going into smaller spaces than the size of the bit, so it cuts what it can and skips the rest.

Centennial Sign for Anniversary Gift.

This sign of the Glacier National Park Centennial logo is being made for a client as a anniversary gift for his wife. They were married in Glacier 10 years ago.

It was created using a native wood and measures in  at 12 inches wide and 18 inches long.  A decorative edge was routed around the border of the sign and a slot was put on the back for hanging.

The client asked for a photo of the artisan (me) with the sign so they would know it had been touched and created by human hands.   I decided I could take it to Lake McDonald and then they would also know it had been created near Glacier National Park where they were married. 







Sign has bee been sanded and edged.  The first coats of finish have been applied.
Custom lasering on the back.

Just back from the laser.
