Personalised Cheese Boards
Large cheese boards are starting to be requested more often these days and I usually make them 14” (36cms) wide but can go wider still especially for couples having a "Cheese Wedding".
Instead of a crumb ring which is the deep channel you see on a breadboard, I put a thin decorative v groove which sets the board off and is pleasing to the eye.The cheese board can be personalised with whatever inscription you like. If there isn't enough room for a long inscription on the front I can continue on the back of the cheese board.
A 14” board is a good size and allows you to get quite a lot of cheese on it. An ideal centerpiece at a party.
Side decoration is usually free unless it's very complex.
Price is: £54 for the board plus £2.40/character.
Insured carriage is £12.95 in Uk.
It's very difficult to set up an order system for these, so please contact me to discuss your requirments.

Wedding cheese boardA personalised cheese board to welcome a new member into the family.
Back of wedding cheese boardThis is the back of the board which I decorated with trailing Grapevines.
The cheese boards are all turned from a single piece of Sycamore. Your personalised inscription is then hand carved onto the board using traditional methods and tools.
I also make larger cheese boards up to 18" across for couples that are having a "Cheese Wedding Cake" made from several cheeses instead of the usual cake option.
Ideally I need to know the width of the largest base cheese, then I can make a board that is a perfect fit for your "cake", and carve and decorate the edges with an inscription of your choice.
