  2. EtchDepths and place names are burned into the grain around three peg tracks.
  3. FinishAn oil-based rub brings up the wood and stands up to the table.
  4. RigPegs and skunks ride in a hidden compartment underneath; the wall hook is for between games.

A Boston Harbor cribbage board: solid birch, 14 by 14 inches, the harbor islands etched under three peg tracks, oil finish, hidden storage below.

Boston has been counting things on this water since 1630, and the board continues the tradition at fifteen-two. Pegs work through the etched island field, past Spectacle and Georges, up the channels toward the wharves; three tracks handle the crowd, and the skunk line handles the trash talk.

Between games it hangs like the small nautical artwork it secretly is.

The harbor's full 34-island geography lives on the Boston Harbor 3D chart.
