How the Water Becomes Wood

A chart you can lose a Saturday to.

  1. CutThe board is laser-cut from solid birch to the water's shoreline.
  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 New Orleans cribbage board: 14 by 14 inches of solid birch with the crescent etched beneath three peg tracks, oil-finished, pegs stowed underneath.

Porch games are a New Orleans art form, and this board plays along: pegs ride the etched river bend past the Quarter, cross to the lakefront, and sprint the Causeway line for home. Three tracks seat the household plus whoever wandered up the stoop, and family rules apply about counting out loud.

It pairs with a Sazerac and an opinion about where to get po-boys.

The city's full relief hangs as the New Orleans 3D chart.
