Hi Dave,
Thank you so much for checking in. The board arrived yesterday and looks
absolutely wonderful!! You did such a great job and I so appreciate all the care
you took to make it look exactly how I had hoped. I also really enjoyed reading
the blog entry you wrote about it and learning about the process of making the
board. I'm sorry for the delayed email to let you know the board arrived... on
Friday I am finishing up at the job I have had for the past few years because I
will be starting grad school in the fall and so things have been extremely
hectic as I tie up a lot of loose ends. Again thank you so much for the
fantastic job you did, and I look forward to hopefully working with you again in
the future.
All the best,
Rebecca
This custom three person cribbage board was created for a client to give as a gift. Walnut was used for the main board and the outline of the base paths and pitchers mound were inlayed with hard maple. The bases were stained so they could show up better.
The completed board measured in at 18 inches wide x 18 inches long and was around one inch thick.
Further personalization was done lasering initials in the center of the board with a personal inscription on the back.
A storage slot was routed on the back to hold the custom metal pegs which come with each board.
