Six smaller boards with logo and and juice groove to be handed out at the event. These boards were 12 inch long x 8 inch wide

Custom Four Person Dark Walnut Box Style Cribbage Board

This custom box style cribbage board was made for a client in Massachusetts as a birthday present for their brother.  The chosen wood was dark walnut and they wanted me to use a piece of wood with a lot of grain pattern in it and then top it with a hand rubbed satin finish to allow the grain to show through.  I think the wood I chose meets that request well and turned out awesome.

Dimensions for this project were 16 inches long x 8 inches wide and 2 inches thick. The bottom section was the same size and had pockets created to hold a deck of cards and the custom metal pegs that come with each custom board.

Finished top of the board with engraved initials in bottom right corner.

Custom Maple and Oak Pull-out Cutting Board

This custom slide out cutting board was created for a client to replace their old one.

It measures in at 5/8 inch thick, 17 7/8 inches wide, and 24 inches long.  I used hard maple for the center cutting surface and oak for the breadboard ends.  The ends purpose are twofold, one to add to the look and two to help keep the board flat.

Once the board was finished I apply several coats of a food grade mineral oil to help preserve it.

Several coats of food grade mineral oil drying and it is ready to be shipped.
