Live-Edge Charcuterie Board — Build Plan (Blueprint #5)

Build a serving board that keeps the tree's own wavy bark-side edge, so no two boards are ever alike. This 5-page PDF plan (Build Plan No. 5 in the Fox Feather Farms winter series) makes the 18 x 10 in (46 x 25 cm) black walnut board, 3/4 in thick, from a single kiln-dried live-edge slab — debark, flatten, shape, sand, oil.

Inside: a dimensioned layout diagram and an edge-profile diagram, a cut list, a full materials list with per-line costs in Canadian dollars (about $45 typical), the tools required, finishes and cure times, a 7-step build summary, and a process-at-a-glance diagram. A size lineup shows the same build in two more sizes — a 12 x 9 in cheese board and a 24 x 11 in party board — and an optional leather-cord hanger is covered too. Finished with food-safe mineral oil and beeswax board butter. About 2–3 hours of active work plus 24 hours of cure.
