I love all the boards you guys have done. I'm wondering how you handle cupping on the wider pieces of wood. I wanted to try making a large crib board (11") but can't find anything that isn't cupped and have been told that there's a good chance that anything that size will cup. I'm thinking I might have to glue-up two smaller boards. Any suggestions or thoughts?

Thanks - Christy

Christy,

Yes I have had that problem what I do is glue up boards not more than 3.5" to 4" making the best grain matches I can. Than I use sand sealer before the final finish knock on wood I have not had a problem since. My finished boards are 12.5"

Rick,

Thanks for getting back to me. I looked closely and didn't see any seams on your so didn't think you did glue-up...you did a great job!!

[rdhharm]

John that looks awesome.

Thanks Christy.

I haven't heard of sand sealer but will be heading to Home Depot tomorrow (30 miles away so it's a treat, lol) and pick some up.

Thanks for making my life much easier.

Hi Rick, I have been following your Cribbage site for some time now. YTou may have seen some of my work that I have posted. You've been a great help and inspiration to me, I finally got one of my boards into the display cabinet of my local football club and they are willing to sell them for me so fingers crossed.

I especially like your approach to the pockets for cards and pegs. could you give me a few more pointers. Is that a seperate part that is screwed to the underside of the main board?

I also like the two wood finish, is this achieved using inlay techniques or other method.

You have a great web site and full of good work.

Thanks for sharing

George.

Sorry George I haven’t been on line much the past few months, I have had a life challenge to deal with.
Your boards look very nice. Yes to bottom is a separate from the top and it screws together.
With the two different woods I machine the inlay and then pocket the cribbage board to receive the inlay.
Thanks for the nice words about my web site it has to been neglected

Take Care,
Rick
