Story

The cribbage board was a christmas gift for my wife christmas 2011. It stayed in a partially completed state for over a year as I didn't have the tools required to finish it (also, general laziness). After joining Bloominglabs, I gained the tools and the set aside time to finish the project and make my wife very happy.

Laura's cribbage board

It is made of Brazilian cherry (jatoba) that was a co-worker's left over flooring. The gems are from michaels. The pegs are from ebay.

I made the layout in microsoft Word (forgive me, I didn't know better at the time) using bullets in a table. I printed out the layout, taped it to the boards, and drilled the holes. Sadly, I couldn't finishing drilling the holes on the drill press I had access to, so I had to finish drilling by hand.
