Commission a piece
Custom orders
Most of what leaves my shop was made for one person. A boat name, a retirement date, a company logo cut into walnut, a board sized for a particular counter.
You tell me
What it is, roughly how big, and when you need it. Photos and rough sketches help more than you would think.
I quote it
A price and a date, usually within two days. Nothing gets cut and nothing gets charged until you say go.
I make it
You get a photo before it ships. If it is not right, I fix it before it goes in the box.

Questions
How long until my piece ships?
Most items ship in 3 to 5 business days. Anything personalized takes 7 to 10, because I cut it after you order it. If a piece is running longer than that, it says so on its product page.
Can I get something engraved?
On the items that offer it, yes — there's a field on the product page for the text. Type it exactly as you want it cut, including capitals and punctuation. I cut what you type.
What wood do you use?
Mostly black walnut, cherry and red cedar, plus Baltic birch plywood where a piece needs to be stable rather than pretty. Every product page lists the species for that piece.
How do I care for a cutting board?
Hand wash, dry it standing on edge, and rub in food-grade mineral oil when it starts looking dry — roughly monthly at first, then a few times a year. Never put it in the dishwasher; it will crack.
