I've had this crazy idea in my head for many years about a custom cribbage board. Something totally different than the flat track boards I was used to playing on. I just sorta dove into this and let it evolve as I went. The pieces are Red Oak and Purple heart all 1/8" thick. Its a crazy amount of time to glue all these things together but in the end it was totally worth it. It has a lazy susan bearing fitted. Into the base so it spins as you go up the steps to the top.

I liked it so much I decided to make some for Christmas presents. Not much I can do with a bum arm but I've been gluing up little pieces whenever my arm feels like it.  The next 3 are different woods, Walnut, Hard Maple, Blood wood and Aspen. I can't wait to see them with a coat of poly.

I like it. No one makes things for themselves anymore. Good for you.

That's really cool.  What a great idea.  What are the dimensions.  Congrats on a great job.
Enjoying retirement in the great Pacific Northwest.  I've turned into a fair weather angler.  Why do it today when I can do it tomorrow?

Thanks! The base is 11.5" in diameter. And it stands about 16.5" tall.

That is cool.  Could also just sell them as is, without the holes, as art/sculpture.
There is nothing like sharing any moment outdoors with someone special!

Old Fishermen never die, their rods just go limp.

Looks awesome. I have no idea what cribbage is, but it looks awesome.

Haha! Thanks guys. Cribbage is a fun card game I learned while I was in the Navy.  Now my wife and I play a few games a week and she even let's me win one here and there.

The lazy Susan idea is especially clever; it'll make the game so much more fun.
