A giant sigh of relief after many months in the wood shop. The largest set of edge grain cheese boards I have ever created, seventeen in all. Now the disclaimer is that I took my time and worked on these in my spare time, which seems like a precious commodity these days. A few hours here, 30 minutes there, a tip-toe into the shop here before being called back inside for any one of the many daddy-duties. However, I'm done and I'm thrilled with the outcome. They look awesome.
I decided to stick to an interesting shape I created in the last round of cheese boards. Heavy rounded opposite ends with offset routed grips. Just gives the boards clean lines and shows off the pin striping a bit more in my opinion.
The boards are a mix of exotic and domestic hardwoods. Tons of sawdust created in the making of these. I will do my best in the captions of each photo to name the species used. Sorry for the so-so photography, I was running out of light and snapped a few quick photos with my iPhone.
I can't promise anyone a certain board as they tend to sell quickly. If you want to claim one for your own, please email me with the board # you want and I will do my best to update the site with SOLD signs to avoid confusion.
Thanks for looking.

| All 17 cheese boards lined up. I typically let them sit in the sun for a day or so to "color up." Some of the woods intensify in color when exposed to sunlight. I did this a few weeks ago and thought they looked really cool lined up like this. |

| Two stacks of incredibly heavy hardwood. Had to move one stack at a time. |
Below are the numbered boards. I did my best to order them from lightest to darkest. Just helps when people are selecting the boards they want to buy. Have at 'em.
