This was my first attempt at making a box. It was commissioned as a birthday present for a woman’s husband who played dominoes as well as cribbage and wanted storage space for them. The box is made of Tiger Maple and the cribbage pattern on top is inlaid with Pomele Sapele. The keys on the corners are Gabon Ebony. It measured 14” x 5” x 3” high. I’m particularly proud of this one because it is featured in the “Show Off” section of the May 2007 issue of Woodcraft magazine.

Congrats on the magazine submission!!
This is great. For me, I’d toss a deck of cards in there, some scrap paper and pencils and whatever else needed for a variety of card games!!
Excellent

Very Nice Jeff, The tiger Maple and Sapel look great together.

Doodler, I know it has quite awhile since anyone has posted here, but, I hopr this is OK.
Your board is beautiful!
Maybe you can answer some questions I have…
1. How deep do you drill the holes?
2. What is the normal diameter of the holes? Without Ferrules? With Ferrules?
3. I see holes on the underside of the top… I guess the pegs are sloped so they can stop like a wedge?
4. Are the walls of the holes sloped or straight?
5. What is the thickness of the wood you used here… top, sides, & bottom?
6. How did you Finish it?
I hope you don’t mind my questions… I don’t know much of anything about Cribbage and I think I will be making one very soon.
Thank you.
