Why Use Metal Cribbage Pegs?
Metal cribbage pegs give a finished game board a more premium look and feel than basic plastic or temporary pegs. They are durable, easy to handle, and the mixed colour finishes make it simple to tell players apart during a game.
They are also a natural fit for woodworkers who put time into making a clean cribbage board from walnut, maple, cherry, exotic wood, cutting board strips, or butcher block blanks. If the board itself is handmade, the pegs should feel like they belong with the finished piece.

- Cribbage Board Kit - A great option if you want the template, pegs, and drill bit together in one kit.
- 1/8" Drill Bit - Recommended for cribbage boards and game boards designed for 1/8" pegs.
- Template Tape - Use this to secure acrylic cribbage board templates to your wood while drilling.

How to Use These Metal Cribbage Pegs
These pegs are made to fit 1/8" diameter holes. For best results, drill clean, consistent holes and test the fit before applying your final finish.
- Drill your cribbage board or game board using a 1/8" drill bit.
- Test a peg in a few holes before finishing the board.
- Sand the board and clean out any dust from the peg holes.
- Apply your chosen finish and allow it to cure properly.
- Check the peg fit again after finishing.
- Add the pegs to the finished board before gifting, selling, or using the game.
If finish builds up inside the holes, the pegs may feel tighter than expected. Clean the holes carefully after finishing so the pegs can glide smoothly in and out.
