XL Racetrack Cribbage

Rockler’s Template makes this a quick project present to throw under the tree for your cribbage-loving loved one!

We grabbed what scraps we had laying around the garage and made 3 standard size racetrack cribbage board games. Pictured below, a maple (the asymmetrical one that might make you twitch if you’re OCD), live edge cutoff, and an old cutting board that never got finished (the one with a pattern of 3 different wood types).

We cut the scraps to a length that would fit the Rockler Template + the length needed to drill a 1 3/8” carrying/hanging hole. We used our Ridgid Compund Sliding Miter Saw to do this.

Then we marked the outline of the template.

We drilled a 1 3/8” hole using a forstner bitand drill press.

Once the carrying holes were drilled we routed the holes and edges with a 1/4” round over router bit.

Using masking tape we then taped on the templateand drilled all the holes.

Lastly sand and finish. Viola!!! Super simple homemade games!

Rockler also sells a XL Template and pegs. This is a great option for your Cribbage Crazed Colleagues. This makes for one monster of a cribbage board, measuring 8” x 28”. It is also a great gift for your cribbage loving auntie with arthritis, the pegs on this bad boy are easy to grab and maneuver.

You can even get crazy fancy and add trim or a drawer…

These Cribbage Boards were FUN to make, and are the perfect homemade gift idea. Who doesn’t love a fun game?! AND who doesn’t love the satisfaction of making something beautiful with your own two hands?!
