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.

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_8woodworks?listId=2XE2CMKIJ87OT
