Details about the board:

Each Cribbage board is hand crafted in our workshop. At about 16" long, 6.5" wide and over 1" thick, they have a 3 track layout, a Start and Finish, Skunk and Double Skunk marker. On the back is a custom steel disc covering a pocket to store your metal pegs (included) in. Each board also comes with a deck of Bicycle branded playing cards, and a custom made storage bag. Each board will be finished in a furniture grade finish for a long life.

Details about the woods:

We use locally sourced domestic and exotic hardwoods. There is no paint and no stain used anywhere - the colors are the natural wood colors. You can pick Light, Medium or Dark - which tells us which wood you would like to be the dominant color - Maple for Light, Cherry for Medium and Walnut for Dark. We will include a complimentary mix of other domestic and exotic woods, depending on our stock levels - and each Cribbage board will be made unique to you. If you have a particular blend of woods you would like, please reach out to us directly.

Details about the customization:

We will engrave your custom word or name in the playing field of the cribbage board. This will then be filled with an epoxy filler, in your choice of color. This text can be a family name, a first name, a date or year, a business name or snappy word. The text will be sized to fill the area as best as possible, and we have picked a selection of fonts that engrave well.

Details about your order:

Each order will be processed in the order we receive, and shipped out upon completion. Wood is cut to order, and we cannot change details about the order once it has begun - if you have questions or need specific customization, please contact us before placing your order.

Care information

Edge grain boards need a little bit of love and care to give you a lifetime of use – so please follow these guidelines!

Bees Board butter on a cutting board

  • They may feel greasy or oily when they arrive. This is normal! Temperature changes during shipping can melt or firm up the oil and wax, and it’s not uncommon for them to seep. This is why they are wrapped in plastic first. Simply wipe them down with a paper towel.
  • Never ever *ever* put them in the dishwasher! Big no no! They will dry out, twist and warp and make us all sad.
  • Water is the enemy. If possible, avoid leaving them on wet surfaces or soaking them in the sink. If they get wet, just wipe them off when you’re done – the bees wax will protect it, but you don’t want to let it soak and absorb too much. 
  • Storing them upright helps prevent water from soaking in and causing twists or warps.
  • If they start to look a little dry, or sad, or feel rough – give them a generous coating on all sides of the board oil – let them sit for anywhere between 30 mins and overnight, and buff them with a lint free cloth. This will rehydrate the board, and the wax will give it a water resistant coating. You may want to do this more often in the early days to get them nice and saturated.

None of this is a hard science – they are meant to be used, to be cut on, to be tools in your kitchen or grill and home – but like anything, a little bit of TLC will make them love you forever!

If they ever get so rough from use you want to resurface them, spend some time sanding down to 220 grit – then a liberal dose of board butter or mineral oil to bring the color back – and they will be good as new.

We sell our own custom blend of board butter! You can pick up 4oz right here.
