The majority of our products are created from sustainably sourced wood from all over the world. The wood we select is carefully selected to ensure that every item is unique.
My Story
The Wooden Board started as a lifelong interest in wood and I wanted to create a shop as a hobby. Just before an accident and developing severe Rheumatoid Arthritis I finally partitioned an area in our home as a woodshop. I bought 2nd hand equipment and started to create without taking any lessons.
Little did I realize that this would become my mental therapy, my passion, and my next chapter in life.
My skill in design and creating has evolved expedientially matching the diversity of my work.
I strive to create the best I can with every piece without exception!
My Approach
“I let the wood inspire me and speak for itself. Each piece has its own voice which makes it hard to choose only one favorite. My wife and I encourage customers we have met at shows or events to touch, feel, and examine everything until that unique one speaks to them as well.”

I’ve purchased several pieces from The Wooden Board I couldn’t be happier! The quality and workmanship are second to none. If you are looking for authentic handmade pieces for gifts then this is the place to go! I love the flower holder! I have had more people ask where did I get this... I have also really loved the pinch bowls, I have one I use all the time during meal prep. The other is by my nightstand for my earrings and rings. Whatever you get I know you will love it!!
I recently moved and wanted to add some unique and beautiful objects to my new home. I found "The Wooden Board" on the web and was immediately intrigued and attracted to what I viewed. I placed my orders and was overjoyed once they arrived. True artistic creations. The happy surprise was not only for the items themselves but also for the exquisite way they were created, lovingly no doubt. The rich auburn wood polished to a velvety touch, the veins placed just at the right angle to enhance the beauty of each piece were definite proof of the artwork to be cherished and to be used with great enjoyment. I would encourage anyone to go to the site, admire the different offerings and let themselves be conquered by what they see.
Stop! Look! The beautiful quality craftsmanship of the items featured here makes it worth your time to consider the possibilities. We have purchased several items for ourselves as well as for housewarming and hostess gifts. Also, consider options for a unique item perfect for newlyweds setting up a new home. We even stocked up on some items to avoid last-minute holiday shopping for the perfect gift. The care and creativity of these beautiful handcrafted items will make them popular for any occasion.
I purchased a Charcuterie Board from the WoodenBoard last Winter. Andrew was extremely knowledgeable about types of wood, had wonderful ideas about the different uses of the board, and was delightful to work with. I had a definite idea in mind. I wanted a board that could accommodate anywhere from 6 people per occasion up to 12 people per occasion. Andrew came through!! He designed a Cherry board that is 34" x 11". This has come in handy when we have had brunch for 6-8 people for bagels, lox, cream cheese, etc. as well as an appetizer board for 12 with crackers, cheeses, veggies, etc. The beauty of my board is that everything can be served on one amazing piece of wood and creates a beautiful warm presentation!
Andrew's pieces are truly one of a kind! We have purchased a few of his pieces over the years and they are all equally functional and beautiful! The craftsmanship and attention to detail are always on point. There is no question about the amount of love that goes into every piece he designs.
I’m happy to share my thoughts on these beautiful items! I own and truly enjoy many items from The Wooden Board. The workmanship is very high quality and the artist has a really good eye for design. I have a difficult time choosing which items to get because I love so many! I particularly love the charcuterie board I have, as well as an interesting little unusually shaped spoon. Many great gift ideas!
I have purchased many unique products from The Wooden Board for myself and as gifts for family and friends. It’s hard to say which utensil I like most because I use all—spatulas, spreaders, toast tongs, and push pulls. It’s always a pleasure to have friends figure out what a toast tong or a push-pull is and then watch their delight when using their unique piece. I have a pig board I use occasionally as it’s just too special for everyday use; sorry, Andrew. I gave a beautiful cheese board to my daughter as a Christmas present and she loves using it when entertaining. The Wooden Board is a great resource for beautiful and unique kitchen products.
Andrew, every time I receive photos of your creations on Instagram, I am amazed at the renewed refinement. The way you use the grain of the wood is remarkable as well as the grouping of these stunning items. Delicate and So detailed. Each piece is total perfection - WOW. Again congratulations.
