I've been asked to make charcuterie boards for years, but the ones I've seen always seemed like a long plain board. I had no interest in selling just a board. Woodcraft had a router template that changed my mind. The board is interesting to me and more practical in terms of storage. I made these in walnut, maple and cherry only and these walnut maple "ying yang" design. The one you see has polyurethane as the customer requested it, but all the others have mineral oil and beeswax making them food safe. Each part is 17" long making the pair 34" or plenty long enough to feed a large party.


I drilled the holes with a forschner bit instead of routing it.

My father uses the top boards from the logs he mills, that way they have character from the live edge. He'll use regular boards, too, but will do handles similar to yours.

Most i have seen have been live edge without the bark whatever that is called but I'm the same, I couldn't sell just a slab of wood but for me all I see are pen blanks call blanks and knife scales

These are just the bulk of my wooden pen blanks. No worries about needing the wood from these charcuterie boards for pens.
