Cutting Board Design gets a Name


Introducing the "Preston" Cutting Board, our first special order. We have decided to name it after the designer, since it will be offered as a standard available option. Shown here sanded up and ready for finish.  16" x 22" x 1 1/8", radius corners and drip edge all around, but only on one side.  It's reversible!
Walnut is the wood choice and the Butcher Block Conditioner not only seals and protects the board, it also brings out the character in the wood grain. So pretty!
Do you agree? We love it and hope to sell many more (and keep one for us of course)!
We have since sold another, based on this design.  Red Birch is the wood choice, which has a slightly less material cost than Walnut, per board foot.
Beautiful! 
All the cutting boards we offer are hand made by the husband...no buyins.
In need of a cutting board for yourself or a gift?  You know who to call...

Thank you for stopping by, comments welcome!

Cheers to the Cutting Board

Cutting boards are happening. It's going really well and we can't keep up.  Our first big step was jumping in on the craft fairs. Done.  Going to (hopefully) join 2 - 3 per year.  
Second big step, getting our boards into a local shop. Thank you Ascutney Market and here we go!
We will work on the Etsy Shop also, adding options and maybe more than cutting boards and picture frames?  We will see!
