A project you can make your own

Make a cribbage board people will keep.

Design a board for game night, a thoughtful gift, or your own workshop. Start with a real project another maker shared, then change the wood, the name, or the shape before you carve it.

4 practical tips before you cut

Start from a project that already works

Use a free template

The Easel gallery already has cribbage boards that makers have shared, carved, and copied. That means you can spend your time choosing the right layout and personalizing it instead of drawing every track from scratch.

Change the size, material, name, logo, or decorative details in a copy of a project. Keep the instructions close by while you prepare stock, choose bits, and plan the finishing work.

Three boards you can build on

These are published Easel projects with a preview or copy workflow. Open a project to inspect the design, then make your own version in Easel.

Before you cut

Plan the details that make it yours

Choose the layout first

Decide whether your board is for two, three, or more players before changing the track. That choice affects the spacing and the room available for names or logos.

Measure your stock

Set the material size in the project before cutting. A board that looks right on screen still needs enough stock for the outside profile, clamps, and a safe margin.

Plan for the holes

Some cribbage designs use a drill bit or imported g-code for the holes. Check the project's instructions and your machine's capabilities before starting; Easel does not support drilling operations directly in every workflow.

Test the fit

Use scrap material to check the bit, peg fit, and hole depth before committing a favorite piece of hardwood. Then sand and finish the board for years of game nights.
