This is another cribbage board like the last one only without the live edge. I put a drawer in this one also but made a slightly different holder for the pegs. I had to drill the holes at an angle because the pegs are longer than the drawer is high. I used 2 pair of 10 mm magnets to hold the drawer in and have a release groove in the bottom to pull the drawer off the magnets.
It is 1 5/8” x 5 1/2” x 13” and finished with Danish oil and 3 step buffed and waxed.
Cheers, Jim

Lovely job Jim, those look like metal pegs. I don’t think I’ve seen a board without some broken plastic pegs in it.

Fantastic! I ‘m building one at the moment, about 3 feet long hidden in a coffee table. 300 + holes to drill!

I haven’t played cribbage in about 20 years… That is a beautiful piece of wood and a mighty fine looking cribbage board. Your patience and dedication are remarkable, as that is a lot of holes to drill with precision

Thank you all for the nice comments. I am trying to make the boards look like a piece of furniture and the buffing give them that good feel.
Hi Dick, I did use 2 pair of magnets again because I line the “snap” when it opens and closes!
Hi John. I’ve made pegs out of brass and antler before but I like the metal ones because they won’t break and if they get lost, I can easily replace it with an exact piece.
Hi Andre, I’ll bet you are making a 3 row game table. You will probably be drilling abut 384 holes.
Hi Brian, I use a steel template for all the holes. Otherwise a little bit off in the spacing or to the side and it sure shows . Randy Smith, the shop teacher at the high school, made my layout pattern on his CNC router and I transferred it to a steel plate.
Cheers, Jim
