Paua Rosa with Maple Burl Cribbage Board

That’s a great looking board.

This is a beautiful piece! All that drilling, though, must be about as tedious as sanding. You must have a lot of patience. Great work.

Thanks Karson and David! I actually find peace in doing all that drilling. Kind of a Zen thing. I draft all the lines onto the board after finishing the inlay and then it’s just me and my drill press for an hour or so.

Beautiful Jeff. Makes me want to take up Cribbage… well, after I’m done my Thorsen Table of course. ;-)

Great piece and thanks for sharing!

Jeff, I just checked out ALL of your boards. These are great! My personal favs are this new one, the spiral and especially the box. Over here in MN, cribbage is a big deal and I know quite a few folks who would drool over these. Very, very nice work!

My Grandma and Grandpa taught me to play cribbage long ago. I have been holding a deck of cards and yelling 15 2 for as long as I can remember. Grandma is passed now. Time to start teaching my kids. Fantastic boards. Takes me back, as you can now tell.

It’s been a long time since I’ve played and I’ve never played on that nice a board.

Man would I like to 15 2 15 4 on that board. And you just hang these on the wall huh? They are beautiful. jockmike

Very nice! I like the wood choices and the lapis accents.

Glad to see there’s a lot of cribbage fans here. Anyone ever get a 29 hand? My partner Betsy got a 28 once playing against me (had the wrong Jack in her hand).

Rick’s the cribbage master in this house. I’ll have to ask him what his best hand ever was.

and a run is 9… wait, 15 2, 15 4, pair is 6 and a double run is 12 and I got two for the Jack (on the cut).

I play cribbage with the money guy on a regular basis and he wanted me to make a cut-throat board… Now I got an idea to go on. Thanks Doodler.

Nice job.

Beautiful board, Doodler. I have played cribbage since I was a little tyke – it actually helped me learn numbers and addition. Have never seen a nicer cribbage board. Have often thought I’d like to make myself one but it certainly wouldn’t be in the same class as yours.

Again, great work!!!
