Was asked to make a cribbage board for Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation auction in Montana by my BIL. Actually made 2. First one, made from .75" maple cupped terribly after carvng (even after being sealed) despite wood being in my shop for 2+ years. Was able to get it to lay flat again, but was not confident that it would stay, so I took Honest John's advice and bought a !' pine round from Menards to make the second one.

Going to send both, hope they do well. Was quite pleased for my first go around..

I have no idea how to play either. Was fun yet frustrating. Thanks for the comments.

Very nice work and I don't know how to play Cribbage either!

Very well done,

That's a great looking game board, Dave! Like others, I have no idea how to play the game but the boards have always looked interesting.

Wow great job

Beautiful boards, Dave. Shame about the warping on the maple one.

It's probably been about two decades since I played that very good game.

Cribbage, no thanks I ain't hungry....have no idea how to play but can say that the design and execution of the boards look great. With the elk in the design it should feel very at home in Montana. Great job.

Beautiful piece, Dave!
The game is played to 121 points...the holes are for putting little coloured pegs into for keeping track of the score. Sort of like a race track. Four rows, four players.

Beautiful project. The carvings came out looking great. I haven't played cribbage in 30 years but I grew up playing it with my family.

I may have to carve one just for nostalgia. Of course won't be nearly as nice as yours.

The three dimensions really popped on this piece. In art that's called Bas Relief. Really nice job on this. You CNC guys keep tempting the rest of us with gorgeous work like this.

Played a few times many decades ago - but never saw a board as spectacular as yours. Great job!

Wow, thanks for all the comments! I hope they do well at the auction.
