I’ve been helping my brother-in-law with making this cribbage board as a gift for his mother. We used the XL Rockler template for the holes. He’s wanting to add numbers and paint them in gold.
I know with the Poplar and Sapele boards I did that my recipients were fine without having the numbers but it’s not my call this time. How would you advise him to add the numbers: Laser Engrave them (there’s a local Fab Lab at OU which could accommodate this board), CNC them (would require someone to get a sizable machine - this is the option we do not have readily available), use a number punch set (we have these but they’re… inconsistent to line up and strike), or wood burn (not sure if there’s a stencil - I’d be nervous doing this by hand…)
Thanks in advance for your suggestions
