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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryEA Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Very commendable. The holes are hard to do and have them uniform. You did excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhudson Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WigWag Workshop Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Looks great! I need to learn to play cribbage, has I always wanted to make a custom board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 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. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
