We use a laser engraver to make each piece. This carefully burns the design into the wood. Each piece of wood is different and can react differently to the burn based on the wood grain of each board. Since wood is so different, some boards can engrave darker than others. If you have a custom request or a question, do not hesitate to reach out to us via Etsy Convos. We welcome your ideas to create a design to your satisfaction.

The Best Board for Serving a Crowd

As for the history of charcuterie, the Food Lover’s Companion says, “Taken from the term cuiseur de chair, meaning “cooker of meat,” charcuterie has been considered a French culinary art at least since the 15th century. It refers to pork specialties … which are made and sold in a delicatessen-style shop, also called a charcuterie.”

Charcuterie has been my favorite kind “meal” for as long as I can remember. I love having a little taste of everything, and have always preferred grazing over tapas or cheese boards to having a big dinner plate. Perhaps it’s from being a GenX-er that grew up with Lunchables as a treat and loving those summer sausage baskets around the holidays. It felt fancy and special.

There’s also material to consider: wood is rustic, easy to clean, and relatively lighter than slate or marble cheese boards. If you want something super impressive looking, you might want a crystal or stoneware one. Whatever you decide, if you need inspiration on how to lay things out, TikTok is full of fancy shark coochie projects. I originally made this Shark-Cuterie board for The Food Network to celebrate Shark Week, but it’s great as an un-brie-lievably cute summer-themed or beach-themed “choochie” board throughout the year.
