Whoa! you and LarryEA have it all (patience) to do something detailed as this.Coodoo's to you both!!!! I had a job drill holes for a living and the boss walked by me one day and was humming "sleeping with his eyes open",lol I got to the point to where i didn't know is i was going down a hole or coming out of one,LOL

[LarryEA]

Very commendable. The holes are hard to do and have them uniform. You did excellent.

[oldhudson]

I think you did a really great job. The holes line up perfectly. And I like the idea of 1/4" pegs. I have a commercial board that must be 40+ years old. I didn't realize when I got it that it was warped (twisted) - it's frustrating trying to peg between the warp and tiny pegs. I've played with others that were warped too. I hope yours will stay flat.

 

Unless you use a penetrating type finish, e.g., BLO, tung oil etc. I'd expect top coat type finishes will get in the peg holes and be an issue? I never made one but I'd try to finish it before drilling, at least a couple of coats. I guess I'd use an oil to highlight the grain, sand lightly and then use lacquer.

 

Be sure to post pics when it'd done.

Looks great!  I need to learn to play cribbage, has I always wanted to make a custom board

[Lucky2]

Nicely done Todd, I'd give it a coating of BLO then a final coating of clear poly or lacquer. Around here we still play a lot of cribbage, it's an enjoyable game.
