Cribbage Board — Aromatic Cedar (Ready to Play)

Description The live edge cribbage board is the version that keeps the tree’s own outline — bark, knots, and the honest line of where the sapwood ended. Cut from aromatic cedar, fourteen inches long, four and a half wide, ready to play on arrival. First, the wood does most of the work. Aromatic cedar carries its own smell — soft, warm, the wood that lines closets and trunks in old houses. As a result, this board doesn’t just look like the woods of the cabin; it smells like them when you open the box. Because cedar is softer than the hardwoods in the rest of the shop, this board lives on a coffee table, not a cutting counter. The 120-point layout routes cleanly across the flat face and reads at a glance from across the room. What makes a live edge cribbage board different Most cribbage boards are cut to a clean rectangle. Meanwhile, the live edge version keeps the natural shape of the tree along one side — bark, knot, taper, and all. Most importantly, this is a one-of-one piece. The pattern can be routed again, but the outline of this particular slab exists nowhere else. How to play with it Each board ships ready to use tonight. Inside the box: six wooden pegs (mixed colors), a full deck of playing cards, and a soft velvet drawstring bag for both. Either way you score, the cedar smell rises a little when the room warms up — the kind of small detail that makes the game feel like the cabin even when the cabin is two provinces away. Care, custom work, and shipping First, wipe with a soft dry cloth after use. Second, avoid prolonged direct sunlight and standing moisture. Finally, do not oil cedar — the natural finish carries the scent. Other hardwoods built on request: walnut, maple, padauk, Black Limba, canarywood. Ships from Virden, Manitoba via Canada Post with tracking, typically arriving in 1–2 weeks across Canada and 2–3 weeks to the US.
