About this Product
You know you're hot stuff. Well, now everyone can know that with a cutting/charcuterie board that looks like a blazing fireball!
This board is made from Padauk which is an exotic hardwood from Africa. And yes, it really is orange in color (mixed with beautiful streaks of red, brown and black). No stain or coloration is used in the pictures.
With a unique fireball shape, it literally looks like a flaming ember and is bound to elicit oohs and aahs from guests.
This personalized cutting/charcuterie board is completely handmade and finished. Makes an incredible wedding, shower, anniversary gift or just an amazing conversation piece for your home.
Get it however you like:
1. With no engraving.
2. With no engraving and upgrade with a wooden display stand.
3. Or the ultimate upgrade - personalized engraving with over 20+ different designs or come up with your own (just message me).
If you upgrade to the engraving, you receive the display stand as a free bonus (a $5 savings).
Size is approximately 15.75" x 9" (depending on style) 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).
This is a larger board that make for great charcuterie or presentation boards. If you would like a smaller sized cutting/charcuterie board or something made from other exotic woods, please see my other listings.
Also - it goes without saying but wood has natural variations in its grain and pattern. Each cutting board I make is a unique one-of-a-kind product.
Be sure to select which design you'd like in the personalization box. Don't like any of those? no problem - I'll work with you to make something you want and like!

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!
