The aromatic cedar used for these boards grew up in Missouri, was moved as a small log to W. Fargo ND about 12 years ago. Sat in a garage there for a few years; migrated to OR in 2009, and then about 4 months ago went to Lynnwood WA. Well Friday morning it was finally cut to slices. Then it came back to OR on Saturday.
By Sunday, it was demanding to be used. Well 750+ holes later, it is 3 cribbage boards. The pegs are all hand made as are the stoppers for the peg storage. The finish is several coats of marine quality spar varnish that I had in stock.
The woodburning on 2 was "just because" I wanted to. The edges of all 3 have bug holes, but, not into the wood itself, just the bark.
Most likely will end up giving them away. It was a fun project as the cedar is so pretty and adds a nice smell to the shop too.
I did have to remake/ modify my template to fit the size of these boards, they are just slightly over 12 inches long each.
A scrollsaw was used a tiny amount on every one of them also.
