Cribbage Boards

Five cribbage boards I made for gifts and hopefully selling at craft fairs this fall. All came from a pack of Woodcraft's thin stock pack that was on the clearance table when I stopped by my local store. I know one is purple heart, not sure what the other four are. I'm not the best at determining exotic hardwoods. One I swear though had dust that reminded me a lot of lignum vitae.All got a couple of coats of Danish oil followed about a week or two later by a couple of coats of lacquer that came out a little rough but some time run on a set of buffing wheels I use for pens and other small turnings smoothed things right out. I had also drilled out a hole on one end so I could epoxy a magnet in there and then put some adhesive backed felt in the hole after I finished with buffing everything. The magnet should hold the metallic cribbage pins in there.
