Project description
I have a rough idea of the size and shape I'm after, but I'm open to your suggestions on wood type, edge profile, and finish based on what works well and looks best. I'd like some form of personalization worked into the design — this could be engraved initials, a name, a short date, or a simple decorative pattern along the border. Nothing overly elaborate is needed, just something tasteful that clearly shows craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Please only reach out if you have prior experience with food-safe finishes and engraving on hardwood, and can share photos of similar boards you've completed before. I'd also appreciate a rough estimate of the timeline and how the finished piece will be packaged, since this is going to someone as a gift and I want it to arrive looking presentable and ready to give.
What I need:
— Handmade wooden cutting or charcuterie board in food-safe hardwood
— Custom engraving or personalization (initials, name, or date)
— Food-safe oil or finish application
— Photos of previous similar completed work
— Suggested size options and an estimated turnaround time
— Gift-ready presentation or packaging
