A project you can make your own

Make a cribbage board people will keep.

Design a board for game night, a thoughtful gift, or your own workshop. Start with a real project another maker shared, then change the wood, the name, or the shape before you carve it.

Start from a project that already works

Use a free template

The Easel gallery already has cribbage boards that makers have shared, carved, and copied. That means you can spend your time choosing the right layout and personalizing it instead of drawing every track from scratch.

Change the size, material, name, logo, or decorative details in a copy of a project. Keep the instructions close by while you prepare stock, choose bits, and plan the finishing work.

Three boards you can build on

These are published Easel projects with a preview or copy workflow. Open a project to inspect the design, then make your own version in Easel.

Keep a reusable guide for custom artwork

Jason McGinn uses a separate Custom Area Template workpiece to position new artwork on the board. He recommends duplicating it before editing, then deleting the guide objects or setting their depth to zero after positioning the design. You can keep the original guide for the next personalized board.
