Compromise and Customize.
When I started the Siberian Elm series, I had hoped to make a set of square serving boards that, when put together, would resemble the original slab of wood. But nature, my friends, is unkind, and as this piece dried, it started to warp. So, instead, I introduced the slab to my old pal Table Saw and made eleven unrelated serving boards. Unlike the Russian Olive Series, this series feature thinner boards that allows for a large surface area for the epoxy. In other words, thinner boards means I can make boards with a bigger surface area at the same price point.
In this series, I wanted to push the burden of creativity onto customers, so I planed them all down and posted them as unpoured pieces. Then I consulted everyone who bought one about shape, color, and engraving.
Take a look below to see how these pieces turned out. They were tons of fun to make, and I got a lot of texts from happy dads for their Father’s Day presents.
If you want a custom piece like this, contact me! I’d be happy to make a cheeseboard, a coffee table, an end table, and much more. The world is your oyster!
