Become Metal Pegs
Metal pegs are used for a variety of reasons though they are most notably customized and sentimentalized in the game of Cribbage. Cribbage is played between multiple players and has complicated rules regarding point awarding. Through the use of a board and typically metal or wooden pegs that fit the board, Cribbage players are able to keep track of their score as they play by moving their pieces. Cribbage sets typically come with a few different colored pegs but often people will purchase and personalize their own pegs. This makes it interesting for people to see what their pegs can become. Metal pegs are simple but the adornments on them can be as extravagant as jewels.
Becoming Metal Pegs for Cribbage
The most attractive metal pegs for Cribbage come in all of the classic types of metal:
- Gold Cribbage Pegs
- Silver Cribbage Pegs
- Titanium Cribbage Pegs
- Platinum Cribbage Pegs
- Copper Cribbage Pegs
This is just a short list of what is available when it comes to custom Cribbage pegs. If you can’t find the material that you want already in a pack of pre-lathed Cribbage pegs, try finding a local machinist, get the dimensions of a standard Cribbage peg and find out how much it costs to have them lathed out of the material you need. You’ll be surprised that it’s not much more than getting them shipped to you pre-made!
Custom Designs and Colors
What people love about Cribbage peg customization is that they can express things that they like or their personality and sense of flair through their game piece. For example, some more affluent players that thoroughly enjoy the game may opt to embed precious stones at the top of the Cribbage pegs. Others may want glass beads with embedded images such as sports teams logos or pictures that are dear to them. When it comes to designing your own pegs, the sky is the limit. If you’re not terribly handy with engineering projects, that’s ok too: there are custom built sets of Cribbage pegs that are a bit fancier than those you get along with the game itself. You could also use paint or magnetism (depending on your peg material) to integrate additional elements to your pegs.
