I make boards to be of use. I’m not trying to make wall art: I’m trying to make cutting boards. Good cutting boards.
However, I can’t make people cut on these boards, even though that sounds like a pretty good idea to me. If they want them to display, then that’s what they will do. With my blessing, and my frustrations.
These mobile boards (I call them Small Sous Chef Boards) have a short handle and a work surface that’s about 9″ x 12″. The boards are 3/4″ thick, and intended for 2-sided use.
I’ve been struggling to keep these in stock all year, so I made 6 for December events … and I sold 3 before they even got price tags.
In November.
It’s a good problem, I know. I am really not complaining! But it’s now my plan to make a baker’s dozen of these with all new designs in the first quarter of next year. Wonder how many will make it to our first 2017 event?
Those are quite beautiful; I can see why folks won’t cut on them.
