Project description

We entertain often — friends drop in on Fridays, family fills the house on holidays — and every single time the cheese ends up on a random dinner plate, the nuts roll off across the tablecloth, the honey sits in whatever jar it came in, and somebody is opening drawers looking for a knife. I would like to solve this properly and commission a proper serving set: one large board for a crowd, and a second, smaller one for the two of us on an ordinary evening.

The big one I picture in solid oak or ash with strong, expressive grain — I want the wood to be the decoration, not carving or inlay. A low raised rim around the perimeter so nuts, olives and grapes stay on the board instead of on the table. Two or three recesses sized for removable ceramic or glass dishes for honey and jam, so they can be lifted out and washed on their own. A shallow cradle that holds the cheese knife, and cut-out side handles so the board can be picked up with one hand when it is fully loaded. Edges softly rounded, non-slip feet underneath, and a date engraved on the back — this is an anniversary gift.

A few points are non-negotiable, and I would rather say them up front than argue later. Anything people eat from gets a food-safe oil or wax finish only — no lacquer, no furniture varnish, nothing that can chip into the food. The timber must be a safe hardwood: oak, ash, beech or maple; please do not offer resinous softwoods. I also understand how such a board lives: it never goes into the dishwasher and is never left to soak in the sink, or it will warp and crack. And we will not be cutting raw meat or fish on it — this is a serving board, not a chopping block.

What I need from you:
— a large board for a group: raised rim, cut-out side handles, knife cradle;
— two or three removable ceramic or glass dishes with precisely fitted recesses;
— a second, smaller everyday board in the same style and finish;
— non-slip feet and softly rounded edges everywhere hands and lips touch;
— a date engraved on the reverse side;
— food-safe oil or wax finish, no lacquer of any kind;
— a short care sheet: how to wash, how to dry, how often to re-oil;
— a dimensioned sketch for approval first, then photos of the finished pieces before shipping.

Please tell me your timeline, what you would charge, and which of the two boards you would make first.
