About this Product
The Pegs & Jokers Game Set – Tennessee Red Cedar is played very much like Aggravation, Sorry, or Parcheesi. Unlike those other games, there are many choices on what actions to take. This is where the fun lies.
The choices come from having five playing cards in your hand, undoubtedly you have decisions to make. Strategy comes when playing certain cards for your benefit, with attention to offense or defense. Or when to hold onto a card for later and use it for a special purpose. Under those circumstances, this game can become very cutthroat in a very fun way and very addicting.
Every Bark Up A Tree Woodworks – Pegs and Jokers game set is above all, hand-crafted in the U.S.A. with solid hardwoods. I use over 20 different species of lumber. I use a clear finish to enhance the wood’s natural color and grain.
All of the game sets and expansion sets include custom aluminum pegs that are made in the U.S.A., as a result, since the pegs are aluminum, they don’t swell, stick, or break off in the holes. Additionally, every game also includes Bicycle playing cards which are also made in the U.S.A.
A Pegs & Jokers Game Set includes:
6 Interlocking Game Boards (Each board is 10.5” x 2.5” x 11/16”).
30 Aluminum Pegs in Standard Colors (Blue, Red, Orange, Purple, Green, and Yellow).
3 Decks of Bicycle Standard Playing Cards.
A set of rules.
1 Indestructo Box to hold the game set.
Wood: Tennessee Red Cedar (North America)

Meet the Maker
I am a husband, a father of 2 sons, and the owner of the shop dog Smoke (AKA the mascot). My youngest child is special needs and that is why I became a full-time artist/craftsman. He was the push I received to leap from working for someone else to working for myself. I needed to be home to care for him when he was younger, so I could work from home and take him to all his appointments.
I started woodworking in High school. At that time, I didn’t consider it art. I just loved to cut, carve, and hack up wood to come up with something useful. I didn’t know about all the different colors, grain, or textures that wood has. I educated myself on techniques, learned by trial and error, and became comfortable with my abilities. I learned how wood is always alive, moves with humidity, and how to compensate for that movement. I am a perfectionist, if a project or a part is not up to my high standards it will find itself in the burn pile.
I come from a very artistic family. I can’t paint with watercolors, acrylic, or oils but I can paint with wood. I love doing inlay work and drawing my own patterns. I’m inspired by the natural world and living things. Bowhunting, Duck Hunting, and Fly Fishing are some of my other passions and influence my work. There’s nothing better than being out early in the morning, either hunting or fishing, and taking the natural world in.

How it’s Made
All of my products are truly hand-made. Every operation to produce an item involve touching the wood with my hand. There is no CNC involved.
Solid hardwoods are used for almost everything. I will use some plywood in appropriate places where it's a better choice.
The aluminum pegs for my game sets are made in the USA, as are the Bicycle playing cards.
