This board was created out of  Maple and measures in at around  22 inches long, 8 inches wide and 2 3/8 inches thick.

It is a four person board and comes with custom metal standard size 1/8 inch pegs and a deck of cards. Each track is separated by a routed line to make it easy for players to stay on their own track.  A hand rubbed polyurethane finish has been applied to protect the board.

Custom Sloop Cribbage Board.

This request came in from a client in Massachusetts and it is sailing away to its home port.  The idea was started during a vacation last summer for the client and she thought it would be the perfect Christmas gift for her husband.
I was given a photo with very general specifications and asked "Can you create something like this?"  How can I say no to a challenge like that?
After narrowing down the type of sailboat; International One Design,   I created the shape design and I was off.

Finished side view

Finished top view

The boat measures in at 20 inches long 5 1/2 inches at the widest point and 2 1/2 inches deep.  The main deck is Dark Walnut and the two bottom layers are birch.
As you can see from the photos below, they were shaped, then glued together..then shaped further as was necessary.
This project was a really fun one to plan out and create.  I think it turned out very well.

Custom Hard Maple Cutting Board Slide Out With Oak Pull

This large cutting board is on its way to Vacaville, California to its new home. This client is doing a major redo in his house. After working on updating the cabinets in the kitchen, he decided to also do the cutting board slideouts. During a google search he found me and placed this order.

The board measures in at 1/2 inch thick x 25 inches wide x 23 7/16 inch deep and was made out of hard maple. The breadboard front of the board was made using red oak 1/2 inch thick. 1 1/2 inches wide and 27 inches long. The extra two inches was to keep the board from sliding into the slot. Both sides of the oak got finger grooves routed into them for ease of pulling it out during use.

Food grade mineral applied.





sanding complete and ready to be oiled.
