Pick a shape — your state, your province, an initial, a goalie stick. CribbageFORGE draws the whole board in seconds: cutout, every peg hole, the track, the numbers, the artwork. Validated spacing on every single board. You just cut.

A shaped cribbage board isn't a shaped rectangle — hole spacing that works on a straight board collapses at every corner of a state outline. CribbageFORGE solves the spacing for every shape, at every size, and only offers you boards that pass. If it's in the menu, it works.
Every state, north-up, from official boundary data. Wisconsin to Texas, minimum sizes solved per shape.
The whole map for the most cribbage-mad country on earth — Ontario to Nunavut, plus PEI as a four-foot statement piece.
One initial, one board. The gift nobody else at the craft fair has — and every letter works in every format.
Goalie stick, walleye, buck head, canoe paddle, guitar, bear, lighthouse, pine tree, the classic stadium, the "29".
Every engraved element — numbers, track, labels, artwork — is centreline geometry on its own layer. The tool defines the look: same board file, four different finishes. Drill the holes, then cut the rest with whatever you run.
Layers are the interface: CF-Outline, CF-Holes, CF-Grid, CF-Text, CF-Art. Toolpath each your way, or turn one off. No toolpaths are forced on you — you know your machine better than any software does.
The personalization is the product. Letter-shaped boards for an initial. Chunky filled monograms carved in the middle — "D&S" on a wedding board. Nine pieces of centre artwork: the 29 hand, crossed pegs, the skunk, a compass rose, clinking pub steins. A skunk line for boards that mean business.
Five fanned cards — four fives and the jack — for the perfect-hand board. A Canadian invention, by the way.
Closed chunky letterforms that V-carve or pocket solid — plus a hatch-fill layer for laser work. Initials, years, "EST. 1987".
Numbers every five holes, bold at 30/60/90, START and FINISH placed to clear every line — measured, not eyeballed.
One finished board sells for more than the whole tool costs.
How this works, honestly: there's a Requests tab right in the gadget. Requests pile up until there are enough to warrant a programming session — then the whole batch ships to every owner, free. Popular requests get built first; there are no promised dates. Not every shape can hold a peg track — long skinny things are the hard ones. Ask the canoe paddle: it took three tries.
Or just write to requests@cribbageforge.app — a real person reads it.
