Default Do You Label Your Cribbage Boards?

I just completed the woodworking part of this cribbage board.

Maybe you should stop there? I don't think the base will make it easier
to use (at all). Maybe build a case, or some other way to hold the
pegs, or add a monogram? By the way, I have seen marks at 60 as well as
at 90 (60 is a quadruple win and 90 is of course a double win).

Fifteen-two! : )

The base is
made from Padauk, the top is Maple with some nice figuring. It's a surprise
for my adult son.

I've seen boards that are labeled with numbers every 5 peg holes plus Start,
Finish, etc. Some have just Start, Finish and an S after hole 90, some have no labeling at all.

I don't know if I want to label this one or not. I'm leaning towards buying
the dry-rub lettering and letting my son decide - and do it ;-) - after I
ship it to him. (Since it's a surprise, I don't know if wants any labels.)

For those that have made Cribbage boards, do you label them?
