Birds Eye Maple
I have added a new Cheese Board or it can also be used as a cutting board. Size I have available are 8 inch round, 10 inch round and 12 inch round. The handle adds another 4 inch plus to the length depending on the size board. You can find my new boards on this page, Cheese Boards
The first picture (above) is Birds Eye Maple, very beautiful and hard to find.
Walnut
Walnut is very popular and makes a beautiful board. Many times the walnut will have curly designs in the wood and cream color streaks that add character.
Quilted Flamed Maple
Quilted Flamed Maple is very beautiful, you can see the beautiful flame colors in the boards above.
All of my boards are hand sanded to a smooth finish then finished with numerous coats of food safe mineral oil then top coated with mineral oil and beeswax. All boards are shipped with a tin of my Wood Conditioner!
Makes a very nice gift for someone who likes to cook and entertain family and friends
Charcuterie boards, cheese boards and cutting boards make great Christmas gifts or a nice anytime gift for a friend that likes to cook or entertain! If you get them engraved it makes the gift more personal!!
Do you have a favorite cutting board that you use all the time? I would love to see pictures of your boards!
I have started making one of a kind cutting boards and serving boards! Each board is numbered and is designed to be unique so that it can be displayed in your home but also makes a great accessory for cooking, cutting and serving.
Like all the boards, I hand select each piece of walnut, maple or cherry. Did I mentioned all my boards are handcrafted one at a time by me and only me and they all have beautiful grain, shiny finish, and smooth to the touch.
My supplier for walnut told me today that the price of walnut is going up very soon, it appears that there is a shortage of walnut. Only hope that the price doesn’t go up too much!
The above board is Curly Flamed Maple, as you can see it has beautiful color and character! My wife really loves the Curly Flamed Maple, if I don’t get a buyer for this board she said that she will be keeping it.
What do you think of my new boards?

Round Walnut Cutting Boards or Serving Boards with Handle
I have been really busy making cutting boards, serving boards, and custom woodwork for special wedding gifts. I have gotten a good many orders for wedding gifts. It seems that the round walnut cutting board in all three sizes is the most popular at the moment.
This year I was fortunate to buy a large amount of beautiful walnut 1 inch thick, random widths and lengths. This walnut is beautiful with colors ranging from light to dark and includes some black streaking.
Pictured is a 15 inch, 12 inch and 10 inch board
A good friend of mind gives everyone he knows getting married the same wedding gift. On the day of the wedding he buys a new cooler and fills it with water bottles, sodas, beer, wine, champagne and ice. Along with the cooler full of drinks he also gives one of my cutting boards. The bride and groom always love the cutting board and the cooler full of drinks, especially if they can take the cooler with them on their first night together!
Cutting boards are very popular with people looking for a special handcrafted gift. All of my work is handmade so they become an instant heirloom and will last forever.
With each order I always send along my Wood Conditioner and instructions on how to take care of the board. My Wood Conditioner is also handmade using food grade mineral oil and food grade beeswax packaged in tins and will help keep the board looking good.
Today I shipped these three boards directly to the bride and groom in Pittsburgh, PA for someone who ordered the boards as a wedding gift. Nice surprise, I wish I could be there when they open the package.
