Serving Boards |

Serving Boards: Individually cut out, carved, sanded and oiled—one at a time!
All of our boards can be used for cutting, serving or presentation. Our boards are made of one piece of wood—so they won’t cup, split or fall apart. There are no laser cutters, no duplicating machines in our little workshop. See our care instructions for easy maintenance! If you use a wooden knife, you won’t mar your board.
First, together, Tom and I design clear patterns. Next Tom looks at each rough board and places the pattern on each to show off the best grain. This process is more time-consuming and uses more wood and brain cells than simply getting as many pieces as possible out of each rough board, but we like the end product better. It makes every piece truly one-of-a-kind. After patterns are transferred to the rough boards, Tom cuts everything out on the band-saw. Then we CARVE and SAND!

Sandwich Boards

Our Classic Boards
We call these our cocktail or sandwich boards. Keep one by the bar, one in the kitchen as a designated onion/garlic board and yet another as a personal eating platter. Europeans use boards like these-- family members each have their own--for the evening "bread meal". Meats, veggies, spreads and cheeses are set out, everyone chooses and makes their own open-faced sandwiches. Oval 11" x 6" Rectangle 10" x 6" |

When we first started to homestead, we looked forward to outbuildings full of chickens, ducks, goats, bees and puppies. For the time being, though--with a busy show schedule, a new workshop to build, plus grandchildren to play with--we must settle for these wooden friends.
All of our Critters have a contrasting-wood eye on one side only—some folks can’t bear to cut with that eye staring up at them!

Piggy

Large Piggy in Cherry Medium Piggy in Black Walnut Small Piggy in Curly Maple |
Tom’s daughter, Heidi, asked for a pig board like her husband had made in high school shop class. She secretly traced it for me, then I added the very time-consuming, carved, curly tail, eye and floppy ear.
Thus Piggy became Meb’s Kitchenwares’ First Board. Customers have told me, “Every Kitchen needs a Pig for Luck”, so we now make the pigs in three sizes. NOTE: For the Most Daring we offer an EXTRA LARGE PIG! He is 20.5" by 12". Because of the size, this is a custom order piece. |

Double Heart
Tom carves the boards—with the hearts flowing into each other (or, by special request side-by-side, or entangled, or with an imaginary arm around the other). Meb carves the matching or contrasting knives. That’s why this makes a dandy wedding present—from one happy couple to another!
Ask about custom wood-burned names and date for a truly special gift. Or Meb's deep, double-heart bowls, same idea, on this special theme.
