Default My version of the Cracker Barrel Peg Game
Okay, here is my version of Cracker Barrel's famous peg game. I consists of fourteen carved golf tees. I tried to make all the carvings in the wood spirit category. One interesting thing about this is that you never know what kind of wood you will be carving under the paint of the golf tee. THere are some here that are dark, like walnut, and others with very noticeable grain (at least under a microscope!!!) anyway.... hope you like it. And no, carving the peices doesn't mean I can play the game any more successfully. I am also going to post a simple tutorial on the carving of these golf tees. Look for it under "Golf tee wood spirit tutorial" THanks for looking!!!

Hi Mark,

Very nice and clever use of the golf tees and adapt it to an old game.
