Hi, my name is Hank. I've been a finishing carpenter for 30 years. When it comes to wood, it has my heart. Each piece is hand-made, locally in Victoria, BC Canada and finished to perfection.

Each piece will add to the beauty of your home. Whether it's for yourself, or a gift for a loved one, your solid wood board is timeless...and like good wine, gets better with age. Enjoy!

In case you were curious...

Do you use Mineral Oil on the charcuterie boards?

Mineral Oil is not used. Each board is first sanded with 400 grit sandpaper for the smoothest finish. Tung Oil is then applied by hand to each piece and allowed to dry for a few days. Tung Oil, pressed from the tree's nut, is non-toxic and contains no VOCs.

Lastly, a layer of wax is applied using a soft cloth. Both the oil and the wax are from vegan sources. You can purchase the wax on this website to maintain the beauty of the wood.

How do I care for my boards?

For most boards, waxing is recommended after each few uses. If you have a Zebrawood board, it is more porous than the other woods and should be waxed after each use. Waxing takes only minutes and prolongs the beauty, protecting it from moisture. You can buy the vegan food-safe wax here.

Where is your workshop?

I am a local artisan in Victoria, BC Canada. My workshop is in the downtown area.

Do you sell wholesale to stores?

Yes I sell to stores in bulk quantities at a discount. Please email me direct with your request and we can chat! I'd love to hear from you.

Where do you ship to?

We will ship to anywhere in Canada or the USA. Shipping is free in Canada on orders over $198.

What types of wood do you use?

I love the depth of walnut, the exotic nature of zebra wood, the rustic elegance of cedar, the charm of maple and warmth of cherry. The product selection on the website will vary according to the wood available.

Is every board the same?

Not at all. Variations in texture and wood grain make each piece unique. Board sizes will also vary up to a half inch in sizing.

  • Caprese Salad

    Present your salad on your charcuterie board. Slice delicious red, vine-ripened tomatoes and layer them between slices of fresh mozzarella cheese. Place fresh basil leaves on and around. Drizzle with olive oil.

    We love Victoria Olive Oil Company as they have a fantastic selection! Finish with a sprinkle of capers. If desired, add a balsamic glaze over the top just before serving.

    Be sure to wash your charcuterie board with mild soap and wipe it with a damp cloth. When dry, apply wax, and it's ready for the next event.

  • Appy’s, wine, candles…you’re done

    Meats, cheeses, pickled veggies - add to board or in little dishes. Add some wine. Light a candle. Our favourite candle is from Everlasting Candle Co in Vancouver. Let your guests graze while you enjoy each other’s company. The perfect appetizer before dinner or instead of dinner! Oh, and don’t forget the soft background jazz music. Cozy, relaxing and romantic - you’ve got all the perfect ingredients.

  • Picnic Charcuterie - yes, please!

    Our ultra-thin, light picnic boards are easy to pack. Grab your cooler, and pack your meats, cheese, and crackers. Don’t forget your plastic wine glasses for your favourite beverage. Add some plates, napkins and a beach blanket.

    At the beach, or the view top after your hike, enjoy a romantic sunset aperitif.

    Bring a Bluetooth speaker for your favourite tunes and have a picnic to remember.

    Or, buy a ready-made picnic from L’Apero Bistro in Victoria.
