Custom Cherry Cutting Board




This custom cutting board was created using the wood from a cherry tree planted at a families home.  They were doing some landscaping and replanting and the tree had lived a long life.

In the process I was given the wood to use in projects.

This is my token to them for their kindness.
Board measured in at 1/2 thick 20 inches long and 14 inches wide.
Both sides of the board was done, so one could be for meats and the other for vegetables...juice grooves were routed in each end of the board.

For protection I coated with a food grade mineral oil.









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

Custom Round Spiral Four Person Track Cherry Cribbage Board

 This custom order is on its way to Wisconsin as a surprise Christmas gift to an unsuspecting husband.  I was sent a photo and asked.."Can you do something like this?"  Of course you know me I said sure no problem.  Famous last words right?  Well it was a lot of work to get everything lined up, but I am real pleased with how it turned out.  I think the client and her husband will love it.

I used cherry to create the board and it measures in at around 15 inches in diameter. It is mounted on a lazy susan base so it can rotate for the players.  I also created a drawer to hold the cards and pegs.



Finished and ready to ship
