PIzza boards for Orso Alaska



 The order was for a pizza serving board.  Here I created two boards, one out of dark walnut, and one out of hard maple.
They were shipped to the client and they will make a decision on which type they want.
The boards are 7 inches wide, 14 inches long, and 3/4 inches thick.
The edges were all rounded over and sanded smooth, then coated with a food grade mineral oil for preservation.


Stay tuned for more updates soon......:-) ****************************************************************

Surprise.....a new game

The surprise game board is being created for a client in Southern California.  It will be played a bit like cribbage with variations (I think).

They have not come up with a name for their game yet.  The blank area below the finish hole will be where we laser it once they arrive at a name.

The board has been shipped and the client liked it a lot.  They now will work on a marketing ploy.
Their goal is to have me manufacture this board for them.

We will see how it goes...


Here are the two back slots created to hold the large amount of pegs required for this game.




Finally...we believe the surprise game board is nearing production.  Here is the prototype I will ship to the client for their final decision on the product.

It was cut out of native birch and is 13 3/4 inches long,  6 3/4 inches wide, and 1 inch thick.




  This is a major changes in the design...The board is being cut and drilled currently and should be ready for the client to start showing it around to create interest.

This is a new board game that was designed by a client in southern California.  I created this using very specific guidelines from the designer.



Stay tuned for more updates soon......:-)

Custom Cheese boards for Henry Public in Brooklyn, New York

 These custom cheese boards  will be used in Henry Public in Brooklyn, NY.  The first photo is the prototype I sent to them to see if they needed to change anything.

These boards are made out of dark walnut and are roughly 6 inches wide x 9 inches long with a 2 1/2 inch handle.

Walnut is especially notorious for each board being totally different in grain pattern and color of wood.  However, it is always beautiful.




Three days later here is the result of the first prototype; nine more boards.



Here are the nine boards oiled and ready for leather handle straps and the packing box...

Stay tuned for more updates soon......:-) ****************************************************************
