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 Great Lakes cribbage board in solid birch, 14 by 14 inches: the five lakes etched beneath three peg tracks, oil finish, hidden storage below.

Cribbage is the unofficial winter sport of the whole basin, and this board supplies the venue: pegs cross Superior, thread the Straits of Mackinac, and run Erie's shallow home stretch, three tracks wide. Skunk lines settle who shovels the driveway.

It hangs by the fire between blizzards, looking like the small chart it is.

The lakes' carved depths hang full-size as the Great Lakes 3D chart.
