These Cribbage Boards were FUN to make, and are the perfect homemade gift idea. You can even get crazy fancy and add trim or a drawer… It is also a great gift for your cribbage loving auntie with arthritis, the pegs on this bad boy are easy to grab and maneuver. This makes for one monster of a cribbage board, measuring 8” x 28”. This is a great option for your Cribbage Crazed Colleagues. Rockler also sells a XL Template and pegs. Using masking tape we then taped on the templateand drilled all the holes. Once the carrying holes were drilled we routed the holes and edges with a 1/4” round over router bit.

We drilled a 1 3/8” hole using a forstner bitand drill press. Then we marked the outline of the template. We used our Ridgid Compund Sliding Miter Saw to do this.

We cut the scraps to a length that would fit the Rockler Template + the length needed to drill a 1 3/8” carrying/hanging hole. Pictured below, a maple (the asymmetrical one that might make you twitch if you’re OCD), live edge cutoff, and an old cutting board that never got finished (the one with a pattern of 3 different wood types). We grabbed what scraps we had laying around the garage and made 3 standard size racetrack cribbage board games.

Rockler’s Template makes this a quick project present to throw under the tree for your cribbage-loving loved one!
