And me, I’m always on the lookout for a good cutting board. When a client told me they wanted me to refinish their favorite cutting board, I was all in.
This, then, is my homage to their favorite cutting board. It’s 9″ x 20″ x 3/4″. It’s curvy. It has softly rounded edges. It’s made from Birds Eye Maple – which is highly figured Hard Maple – and this board feels elegant in your hand.
I call it a Charcuterie Board, but it’s really a cutting board, or whatever you want it to be.
Mrs M saw the prototypes and loved them. She decided that one of them would be perfect to hold my birthday dinner’s appetizer, and I, of course, had to get some photographs during the “golden hour” on the patio. I call this board a Charcuterie Board, but it’s an Appetizer Board, too.
What, I’m going to tell the Lady what board she has to use to serve the most excellent food she makes? That’s not going to happen. And the recipe is linked at the bottom, just in case you’re in the mood for a wonderful treat.
So, I call this a Charcuterie Board. Yes, it’s a Cutting Board. Yes, it’s an Appetizer Board. Yes, it’s a Cheese Board. Yes, it’s a Bread Board.
You get to choose!
Finally, I am running a Kickstarter campaign RIGHT NOW to help me expand the workshop’s capabilities. If you are interested in backing my campaign – and getting some cool stuff as a reward – then, please, click here: Handmade Cutting Boards & Wooden Serving Pieces.
Here’s the latest to make it to the finish line from the Woodshop!

Now, these are some of my favorites of your wonderful creations! Love the wood, the shape — well, everything!
It was all about touch. When I touched the original board that my client loved, I was thinking, “Oh, my GOODNESS.” I have to make this. After researching the router bit that was required & buying it, I got to work. Glad you like them; I’ll be making more!
