If you’re unfamiliar with cribbage, it’s a great game that uses the board and pegs to keep score. It’s a fantastic two player game, but can also scale up to more players. Might be that perfect pandemic game for you and your circle. A handmade board only heightens the experience. We love to travel with ours to coffee shops, bars, or getaways.

For more on the application process, check out this video around 13:30.    • Modern Table with Dowel Joinery   If you choose to use this finish for cribbage boards, just be sure to not let any pool in the holes, or the wax will harden. The spray lacquer I mentioned, is the easiest finish for cribbage boards. All of the finishing supplies can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/6_8woodwo...
