About this Product
I have made axe-shaped cutting boards before, and they have been popular sellers. My daughter said to me one night, "Hey - you should make a cutting board that looks like a target and sell them as a set!" Hmm....very well-thought out, little grasshopper!
My family loves axe throwing! We even have a target in our backyard and love having friends over to throw axes. If you're like us, you might want to make the party complete by serving snacks on an axe throwing target cutting/charcuterie board with complementary axes.
This "target" board is made from hickory wood. And the axes are made from ambrosia maple and walnut hardwoods. The unique striations in the ambrosia maple give it a very different look.
PLEASE NOTE - the axes pictured are just examples. Each axe I make is made from random designs of ambrosia maple and walnut to give them a unique, one-of-a-kind look. I will send you pictures of the axes you order, but I can't take specific requests because each is randomly made.
This cutting/charcuterie board set is completely handmade and finished. Makes a great gift or just an amazing conversation piece for that axe throwing theme party for your home.
Base set comes with one "target cutting board" and one axe. Or you can get additional axes to complete the set!
"Target" board size is approximately 11.5" x 9" x .75" thick.
Axe size is 10.5" x 4.25" x .75" 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).
If you would like just axe-shaped cutting/charcuterie boards, a larger axe-shaped board, or something made from other exotic woods, please see my other listings at my store.

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
All my cutting boards are hand made to order! 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, often using my CNC to create the intricate shapes and designs. 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. Then it gets packaged up and on its way to you!
