About this Product
If you love cheese, you'll love this cheese slicer. It's not just a tool, it's a piece of art.
This cheese slicer is made with canarywood. Canarywood is an exotic wood from Latin and South America that is yellow to orange in color, typically variegated with light to dark red streaking. It has a medium to high luster. I chose it because it is an incredibly beautiful wood that with its yellow color, sort of looks like...cheese!
The handle is ergonomic and comfortable to hold, while the stainless steel blade cuts through any cheese with ease. Whether you want thin slices for sandwiches, thick slices for crackers, or shavings for salads, this cheese slicer can do it all. This cheese slicer is the perfect gift for yourself or any cheese lover in your life. It's durable, beautiful, and easy to use. Order yours today and enjoy the best cheese experience ever.
Sizes vary but are approximately 10" x 5-7" x 3/4" thick. (Please note there may be slight discrepancies based on the cut of the wood, the planing to get a good-looking grain pattern, the sanding, or the nature of wood in general).
Get it however you like:
1. With no engraving.
2. With no engraving and upgrade to 2 oz.board butter (a small amount once a month will make your board new. And this 2 oz tub will last you years).
3. Or the ultimate upgrade - personalized engraving using a whimsical rustic handwritten font (& includes the board butter).
PLEASE NOTE - personalization is with this font only. If you want something more customized with a different design, message me for a custom quote (additional set up charge for 3 proofs applies).

Meet the Maker
What a long, strange trip it's been! A short bio of me goes like this: I have a 30 year career in the non-profit sector including 16 years in higher education as a Dean of Online Programs and Assistant Professor. I even was a former "teacher of the year" winner at my college. But Covid and variety of other factors caused an awakening: I want to work with wood!
So I started the process of creating my own small business which involves laser engraving and wood working. I have 3 industrial lasers, a CNC and (so far) still 10 fingers. So far, so good, right???
My goal is easy - I try to make rustic modern designs that appeal to a variety of styles and decor. One of the things I do that's a bit different is I use exotic woods (from South America, Africa, Asia and Central America). These woods you can't get in the "big box" stores and have very unique patterns and colors different than the typical walnut, cherry or maple (which I use too!)
The end result is I make one-of-a-kind creations that are sure to really warm your home and elicit ooh's and aah's from your guests.
How it’s Made
Making cheese boards is actually a bit more of a tedious process than simply making cutting boards (but I really enjoy the satisfaction of the end result!) After I choose the patterns of wood (color combinations) I glue them together and plane down. Next comes cutting the board to the exact side, and then drilling the holes and groove for the slicing hardware. Next comes what I describe as the "gauntlet" of sanding using 6 different grits of sandpaper to get a glass-like finish. Finally comes the "oil bath" using a food grade mineral oil/wax blend followed by a cutting board wax to give it a "velvety" feel to the fingers. Next comes the slicing hardware and rubber stoppers to make sure it doesn't slide on you. Then it gets packaged up and on its way to you!
