This is on wood about 200 yrs old. This one has markings from it being moved from its original location, to know how to reassemble it properly. It and plenty more will be at my craft fairs this summer or you can DM me.

I’m cranking out products in advance of this summer’s fairs which are on my website. A mix of stuff will be finishing up over the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned!

I thought there’d be more boats in the water by now. But there’s still enough for some good scenery.

A final cribbage board done this week. This blue whale was to continue trying some alternate colors out (vs a black one). This board was from a home converted to a school in the 2nd half of the 1900’s.

Almost done with cribbage board week… 4 compasses (perhaps I should refer to them as compi???), mostly on antique wood from Onset and one antique board from Hyannis. With cleats or without, whatever floats your boat. (See what I do there?)

Continuing my cribbage board week: This board from a 300 yr old Cape home was split. I thought it would be neat to keep the uneven edge as part of saving it, and make an oversized board with oversized cleats. Normally the cribbage boards aren’t wide enough for the cape image. But hey, when life hands ya lemons…

Another cribbage board done. This long one has drink holders for an added touch of fun. It’s on wood from a home built in 1710.

Another cribbage board in the “done” column. This salvaged wood from Buzzards Bay (from circa 1885) was just barely long enough to work and just wide enough to paint a lobster. Blue to toy with a different color than the normal red but blue lobsters actually do exist.

One of a few cribbage boards I’m working to finish this week. This one is on a board from an 1885 oceanfront home and is about 18x4 inches. It comes with quality metal pegs but you’re on your own for double runs or hands with a 5.
