Craftsmanship Behind Our Custom Charcuterie Boards
At Nightshade Nook Decor, we are passionate about creating unique charcuterie boards that combine natural beauty with exceptional craftsmanship. While we use epoxy resin to preserve and enhance the beauty of the wood, we also ensure that all of our wood is sourced ethically and locally. Here’s a closer look at the meticulous process behind each of our custom boards:
Debarking: The journey begins by carefully removing the bark from our locally sourced wood slabs, revealing the stunning grain patterns beneath.
Cleaning Out Cracks: We meticulously clean out any cracks in the wood, preparing it for the next steps in the process.
Planing: The wood is then planed to achieve a smooth and even surface, essential for creating a high-quality product.
Running Through the Jointer: To ensure perfectly flat edges, the wood is run through a jointer, setting the stage for the final assembly.
Sanding: We sand the wood to a fine finish, ensuring a silky smooth surface ready for the epoxy resin application.
Placing in HDPE Forms: The prepared wood is placed into custom HDPE forms where we pour the epoxy resin rivers.
Epoxy Resin Pouring: We take great care in choosing unique colored mica powders for the epoxy resin, often blending colors to create our own custom shades. This step adds a signature touch to each board, making it truly one-of-a-kind.
Curing and Finishing: Once the epoxy resin has cured, we remove the piece from the mold, trim the excess resin, and run it through the planer again. Finally, we sand the board once more and apply several coats of cutting board oil and wax to protect and enhance the wood.
Creating a Stunning Charcuterie Spread for Your BBQ
Our custom charcuterie boards are perfect for creating a visually stunning and delicious spread for your late summer BBQ.
