Cheese board & knives

[corbs]

I have a friend who is getting married on the weekend and was asked to make a cheeseboard as their present from us. I had some pretty special ideas which included drawers for the knives and all sorts of Gucci gear but the sample pic they sent through was pretty much a lump of wood.

After a quick search of my stash I found a pretty rough bit of Sassy which I thought had potential. A quick clean up and removed the knot, sealed the back and half filled with resin waited for it to harden then dropped in a 2014 $1 coin which I minted at The Mint. Topped up the hole with more resin then cleaned up the board to finish. A few coats of Kunos Oil then off it went to Sydney with a friend to be engraved.

While it was off being engraved I made up the cheese knives to go with it also in Sassy.

The last one in the series is one I made for myself out of Sheoak just to see what worked. Much longer than I had intended but if we have any visiting Samurai they will feel very comfortable wielding that bad boy

Nice work guess that makes it a Buck board

That looks great. I especially liked the idea and wording, of the engraving.

Can I ask who did the engraving?

... Can I ask who did the engraving?

The engraving was done through a work contact

So the newly weds are going to cut the cheese.

An interesting way to incorporate the knot-hole!

Might've been an idea to also embed a leather thong tied in a bow around the coin... so they could say it commemorated "when they tied the knot."
