I just completed the woodworking part of this cribbage board. The base is
made from Padauk, the top is Maple with some nice figuring. It's a surprise

Not sure, but from my take on the picture of the base, it doesn't appear
that those finger notches go all the way to the base of the routed out
space for the cards. Seems to me that they should be flush (at a
minimum) or slightly below the base of the card area to achieve the
desired purpose. Maybe an appropriate sized Forstner bit coming in at
an angle with the edges rounded would do the trick.

The notches don't go all the way down. They are just deep enough to grab
the edges of the box. There is no need to go all the way down to the bottom
of the recess. It's not like a deck of cards weighs 40 pounds. ;-)

DOH! What was I thinking? I was thinking that the cards were stored
out of the pack, don't ask why.
