Charcuterie Boards are all the rage right now and you can get loads of brownie points by making these as gifts for all of your friends.
In this video I make one out of some Peruvian Walnut and some gorgeous curly Ambrosia Maple using the WoodRiver Charcuterie Board Router Template. You'll see how the template makes it super simple to add a nice handle to your charcuterie board or other project.
All you need is a workpiece that's 7 & 1/4 inches wide and whatever length you want but I probably wouldn't go much shorter than 16 inches. Use the template with a 3/8" router bushing and a 1/4" router bit to get nice clean edges. The funky handle with the curve can be reversed to allow two different boards to nest together end to end. Nothing is stopping you from using the curved handle on both ends making a giant charcuterie board train out of all of your favorite woods!!!
Finishing it up however you like, but I've been obsessed with Osmo recently, it's durable, food safe, and easy to repair if it gets damaged in the future.
