Those Cheesy Cheese Boards

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.

An aerial shot so that you can see the ends as well as the routed grips.

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.
