Wine barrell stave cribbage board...


From LumberJocks.com:

"I made this for my brother for a Christmas gift. He plays cribbage and I thought it would be fun. I found a paper pattern on the internet, printed it out, taped it to the barrel stave and started drilling free hand with my drill press. Needless to say, there is a reason they make templates for this job. It took me several tries and it still did not come out perfect. I used a Sharpey fine point to draw in the numbers and track. I finished it with polyurethane. I made the game pieces from pop-rivets..."

Cribbage board pictures...


From Diana Nick and Sam:

"...When I think of cribbage the first image that comes to mind is one from my childhood. My mother always had a cribbage board stowed in the bottom cupboard of our buffet table in our dining room. I can remember seeing it stowed under there and wondering each time what it was for. It wasn't until my senior year in high school that a friend taught me how to play. Many years after that I learned that my mother and grandmother used to play cribbage. But for some reason my mom could never get my dad to learn the game. Nick comes from a cribbage playing family, so somewhere while we were dating it became our game. We have a fold up board that we take on "dates" with us. Adam and his girlfriend, Heidi, have come over a few times and have played against us. For Christmas the two of them went to visit Heidi's family in Alaska and while there they made us a beautiful cribbage board..."

Classy Cribbage board...


From Vic's Venue:



"...Rhonda recently taught Alex how to play cribbage. He loved the game, but was amazed at the simplicity of the board. He looked around and was surprised when couldn't find a nice cribbage board. So he made one. Then he made another one. Then someone found out and he had to make two more.







I've handled these boards and they are absolutely beautiful! They are sturdy and have a solid high-end feel to them. They have a Laser-Engraved and Hard-Anodized Aircraft Aluminum Playing Deck held onto the wooden body by four inset magnets. The body is solid wood, 1 3/4” thick Hardwood Oak, Maple, or Beech. Alex finishes them with Six Coats of Luxurious Hand Sprayed Glossy Lacquer Finish. I think my favorite is the Classy blue board on the solid maple base. He puts the whole thing on Natural Cork non-slip foot pads and includes a set of 9 Premium Machined Metal Pegs (3-Stainless, 3-Brass, & 3-Copper) in a Deluxe Micro-Velvet Peg Pouch. There's also a deck of Bicycle Playing Cards and a set of Playing Instructions and Game Rules. The Classy Cribbage Board (also available in a Modern design) is only $149.99..."






They are available at Vic's Venue or... Alex is marketing the boards at http://www.classycribbage.com/ and on eBay at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140286513058.

Creative cribbage board...


From Tried to live forever every day of the year:


What is this, you might ask?

This is a cribbage board Jesse constructed with promises of endless entertainment, that became less promising while Perry, Katie, Erica, and I began sipping sake and watching the Ravens game. The night continued with laughs and jests (seriously, I'm so eighty!) and then we went home to a couple of more games and glorious, glorious sleep.

Xmas handmade cribbage...

From The Casingers:

"So, one year when we were young, the adults decided that all of the adults would make their gift for the person that they drew. There was no price limit on what you could spend, and the only stipulation was that it didn't matter what you made, but it had to be MADE, not bought. The kids skirted out of this one, seeing as kids are kids, and they like toys and it would have been boring to get a wood box with your name on it. I must say, though, these gifts were very creative. The one that stands out in my mind was the one that my Dad got from my Uncle Myles. My dad loved to play games (which is probably where I get it from!), and he loved to play Cribbage (I'm fond of the game myself!). Anyhow, my Uncle Myles made my father a cribbage board, a homemade cribbage board! The kicker? It was made out of a wood toilet seat! It was great!..."
