The request for this pizza peel/paddle comes from the the heartland of the Midwest, Lee's Summit, Missouri and is being created as a birthday present for the clients father.

This peel is being made out of  1/2 inch thick dark walnut and is 15 1/2 inches wide by 16 inches tall, with the overall length being 32 inches.   A hole was drilled in the top end of the handle and a leather strip was tied in so the peel could be hung up.  The front edge has a 3 inch bevel to be able to work with the pizza. It was engraved with an Epilog laser using Occidental font.

This custom peel is is coated with a food grade mineral oil finish which we recommend for all of our peels.
 

Recommended Care Instructions:

We highly recommend oiling your custom pizza peel frequently.

Over time oiling will preserve and protect woodenware from

splitting and cracking.  Wash peel with a mild detergent,

not allowing the board to soak.  Dry the board, and apply

an even amount of a “food safe mineral oil” with a soft

cloth.  Remove any excess oil.

Warning:

Do not use any kind of vegetable or olive oil as they tend

to turn rancid.

Your pizza peel is not dishwasher compatible.

Enjoy your custom pizza peel

Large Custom Four Person Hard Maple Cribbage Board

This Custom Cribbage Board will be made out of hard maple and is being made for a specific request of a client in Wisconsin. This is a second request of a  re-creation of the board that has been played on in their family for years.

The board will be 26 inches long and 11 inches wide. It is a four person board and will have a slot on the back to hold the custom metal pegs when not in play.

 I created this based on the input from my client. Using CorelDraw to lay this drawing out and design gives me great freedom to basically create any board design I want to create or re-create.

Once it is formatted  a ShopBot CNC router will be used  to drill the holes, router the guidelines and do the lettering on the board. The edging and the slot on the back for pegs will be done with a basic router. I will apply a hand rubbed polyurethane finish once the final sanding has been completed.

This board is different and actually is something I have heard a lot of comments about at shows,  markets and from web inquiries.  Folks have trouble following their track around the board. This design will have engraved lines between each track and with the groups of five also separated.  In the future I will include this style as both a regular or custom item.  I think it would really add class to inlay a different color wood in as the guidelines.

In addition, the client has requested that triple S's be placed between holes 30 and 35 for triple skunk, double S's be placed between holes 60 and 65 for double skunk, and one S be placed between 90 and 95 for a standard skunk. " Start" has been added after the home pegholes and "I WIN" at the pegout hole.


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

More Cribbage boards/ Cutting Boards/Pizza Peels in progress.................

Custom Edge-grain Cutting Board

Maple/ Hickory strip cutting board or commonly called an "edge-grain cutting board."
This board was created by ripping pieces of 5/4 maple and hickory into strips and then flipping the strips, then gluing the face to face surfaces of the original boards. This gives a much more stable level end product, not to mention a nice attractive cutting board.






This Custom four person cribbage board was created out of hard maple. It was further personalized by lasering a clients business name on the front surface.




On the back it was also personalized by lasering the new owners name and the year.

The silver strip on back is a routed dovetailed slide to hold the cribbage pegs.







This mahogany Pizza Peel was created for a client who was building a new home with a nice wood fired pizza oven.
It has a 12 inch paddle and a 9 inch handle. I laminated a separate piece of mahogany onto the handle and 1/2 ways down the peel to provide additional support.

Work has began on several new Glacier National Park Cribbage Boards.................

I have been working on creating some new designs using this lasered shot of the map of Glacier National Park.

Once the file was vectored it was turned into a jpeg that the laser machine could understand. I wanted to be able to laser a photo of it on boards and I wanted an outline which would allow me to cut out a shape of the park.

The map highlights some of the major features that are in Glacier National Park:

The continental divide that runs north and south through the park. The Going to the Sun Road that cuts across the park.

You can also see a number of the lakes that are there:

Lake McDonald, St Mary, Two Medicine, Swift Current, Kintla, Bowman, Quartz, and Logging.

---

The same logo was lasered on a cutout shape of Montana, approximately where it is located in the state,

This will have a cribbage board track drilled on the bottom of the board, a storage slot on the back and a keyhole slot if someone would want to hang it on the wall.

---

The lasered jpeg will also appears here on another style of cribbage board. This board is a maple with a strip of walnut.

This board will have a different track layout and can be made into a box style cribbage board.

---

This is a larger version of the jpeg without the lakes and road.
Glacier National Park lettering will be lasered with the option of also having a personal photo someone might like.

The metal template on the right is what I use to create consistent track layouts. Once the holes are drilled the template will be removed.

5th Annual Darby O'Brien Cribbage Tournament....UPDATE....

Following received after delivery of custom cribbage board....

Dave:

It is wonderful! The printing did turn out nice. Thank you so much. Don't be surprised if I ask you for another one - sooner than I did this one. Thanks again.

Deb

Splinters is honored to have been chosen to create this special cribbage board for this tournament.



It is made out of hard maple and is in the shape of the State of Montana.

It is roughly 9 inches wide x 15 inches long. It is a three person board and has storage on the bottom for the set of custom metal pegs that comes with this board. There is also a keyhole on the back in case they would like to display it on a wall.

The photo of the grizzly cub was taken in the Many Glacier Valley of Glacier National Park by Bob Chinn. Using a Epilog lasering machine the photo was burned into the wood by Blue Dragon LLC in Columbia Falls, Mt. As you can see the clarity of the photo really comes out as well as the lettering.
