Custom Cribbage Board Table

 This custom cribbage board table was created from photos sent in by client. It was to be a present for her son, who kept trying to take the one she had. I was to create the new one to be as close to the other one as possible. I think I came pretty close.

Two inch thick Hard Maple was used for this project. The end result was around 24 inches long x 15 inches wide, with a custom drawer on one end to stow the cards and custom metal pegs.  I am sure many years of cribbage will be played on this custom board.

Finished project....




Legs attached and being coated with polyurethane.

Now to turn the legs.

Using chisel and hammer, the slot was chipped out.  I could have used the CNC for this but I decided to hand chisel it out.

Slot marked for stowage drawer.

Drilling of holes and lines finished.




This board was selected, sanded, and put on the CNC machine.

The photos below were sent to me by a client asking me to duplicate the cribbage table.











Stay tuned for more updates soon......:-) ****************************************************************
