Do me a favor.

The next time you’re in a forest, close your eyes and listen.

Really listen.

If you can turn off your human brain, let go of all your civilized stress and obligation, you’ll hear the forest speak to you.

And it’ll say: You haven’t eaten cheese till you’ve eaten it off a pointy moose.

• Size: 8” x 8.25” x 0.625”

To make my charcuterie boards, I cut different kinds of wood on a bandsaw and glue it together, then repeat those steps several times to create a one-of-a-kind woven pattern. After planing and sanding to create a smooth surface, I move from the wood shop to the art studio and burn a design into each piece.

I finish with a food-safe mixture of oils and waxes, which means the artwork for sale in this listing is suitable for use both as a charcuterie board and as a display piece.

All items in my shop are 100% handmade in Denver, CO. All pyrography is done by hand with an electric wood burning tool.
