Are you looking for a special way to present your culinary creations on your holiday feast table or are you still in need of a gift for a loved one?
I present you handmade serving boards made out of various types of wood (all either reclaimed, salvaged, or leftover). Each is made as a one-off and has a unique pattern and combination of wood types. In this post there are just three models shown, but there are many more on my website. The boards come in different sizes. Prices start at €47 (excluding shipping). Head to my website and explore all boards (link in bio)!
* Note on delivery time *
If you want to be sure to get in time before the holidays, come pick your board up in Amsterdam. For those who prefer delivery: I will put orders on the mail (from Amsterdam) the next working day after the payment for the order is received. Whether the board will arrive in time before the holidays will depend on what day you order and where you live. Please take this into account.
