Sale Sold out

Several years ago we let our crew create one-of-a-kind boards to sell as an "Art" installation and the team received the proceeds from the sale as a bonus to their pay. We all had a lot of fun with this experiment and the guys came up with absolutely fantastic boards. This "Fire" board has been our most requested board from that installation. We use very narrow strips to create the illusion of a flame. It is very labor intensive so we charge more for these special boards.

We rarely offer these boards because they are so laborious to make, so if you like it you should grab it.

Feet WILL be installed on this board unless you ask us not to.

You can also order finger grooves, a juice groove and/or engraving at checkout.

Know your wood

Three domestic hardwoods, chosen for the job

Hardness is measured on the Janka scale: the force needed to press a steel ball halfway into the wood. Hard enough to last, gentle enough on your knives.

Janka hardness of the woods The Boardsmith uses
Wood	Janka hardness	Character
Hard MapleThis board	1450 lbf	The hardest of our woods. Very small pores help keep moisture and food out.
Black WalnutThis board	1010 lbf	Rich, dark brown heartwood. Like all three, durable and kind to knife edges.
Black CherryThis board	950 lbf	Our softest wood, still hard and durable. Darkens from pinkish brown to a deep reddish brown with light.
