You sure held up your end of the deal! Very nice.

A really nice build. I like the way the top swivels with all the pieces & parts nicely tucked away, but at your fingertips when you’re ready to play.

Certainly fills your part of the bargain Chuck. That’s a great looking boards specially with the swivelling top.
I can see you getting a continuous supply of wood in the future.

That is sweet Chuck. Never mind like it I bet he loved it.

Very nice Chuck.
What a piece of wood – major WOW effect.

Good job with all those holes too,

That is really slick, Chuck. I like it being all self contained. you don’t have to hut for anything when you want to play. That maple sure is pretty. That is a great trading item!!

My favorite card game is cribbage! With that said, I think the board is beautiful. If I had my way, it’s the only thing I would work in. Alas, one has to meet all tastes in woodworking for money.

Very nicely done Chuck…that’s a gorgeous piece of Maple

I may have to do one of these :)

Thanks everyone for your gracious comments, you are so kind. Don, your first cribbage board is so beautiful as are all your projects!

Thanks again for the kind words!

I’ve made a couple cribbage boards of my own design, but they were folders and had recessed slots for the pegs in the bottom. Never would I have thought of making the top swivel. That’s a great idea, and the execution with the curly maple is beautiful, though personally I would have made the base black walnut (I love that combination and contrast).

NICE! That piece was in the batch of free lumber? I need friends like that. Most of the free lumber I get is full of nails!

Excellent work on the cribbage board. That maple is really beautiful. Your friend is going to love it.

What did you do for the numbers? I’m looking to make a board too, and have been concerned over the numbers. Beautiful job on the wood and board.

Very striking! Great luck on the wood…. great job on the cribbage board.

-- I just got done cutting three boards and all four of them were too short. (true story)
