Maple Cribbage board with a Walnut inlay

Lovely work Splinters. I especially like the walnut inlay. How did you like working with the hard maple? Keep up the excellent work.

Beautiful game board, Splinters. Thanks for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

I’ve thought about making a cribbage board recently. Did you use a jig to align the holes so nicely?

Thanks!

Thanks for all the comments.

Chad – I really like working with hard maple. Only problem I have had is when I tried to stain it for a client. That did not work as well as I would have liked, however the client loved it, so guess it wasn’t really a problem.
John – I use a metal jig I found online at Meisel Hardware. It works really well and you can use it to create your own different templates

That template is on my buy list. Did you make the metal pegs or buy them?
