Decided to make a special someone a cribbage board for Christmas, to go along with her extreme love of the game. I headed up to my dad's shop so i could run loud tools deep into the night without interrupting neighbor's finals studying. The wood is a deep rich red African Padauk, and the pegs and hardware are all brass. A 0.5" magnet holds the whole kit together and keeps the pegs and deck locked inside.
