How the Water Becomes Wood

  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 Chesapeake Bay cribbage board in solid birch, 14 by 14 inches: the Bay etched into the playing surface with three peg tracks running its length, oil finish, hidden storage below.

Off-season on the Bay is board-game season, and this one keeps the water in play: pegs depart the Susquehanna Flats, round the Bay Bridge, and race the Eastern Shore rivers south to the capes, three tracks wide. Skunk lines settle who shucks the next dozen.

It winters by the wood stove and summers on the screened porch, always looking like it belongs.

The Bay's carved depths hang as the Chesapeake Bay 3D chart.
