Handcrafted His & Hers Serving Boards – A Wedding Gift Commission

This commissioned wedding gift consists of a matched pair of bespoke His & Hers serving boards, handcrafted from solid cherry. Chosen for its warm natural colour and fine, even grain, cherry will develop a deeper, richer tone over time, allowing the boards to age gracefully alongside the couple they were made for.

Each board is shaped and finished by hand, with carefully softened edges to provide a comfortable grip and refined feel in use. The boards are finished with multiple coats of food safe mineral oil, allowing the timber to be properly nourished while enhancing the natural grain and colour. This finish offers durable protection while remaining suitable for regular kitchen use and easy ongoing maintenance.

The boards are personalised with the names of the couple, marking them as both functional serving pieces and lasting keepsakes. Designed to be used rather than displayed, this project combines considered material choice, traditional craftsmanship and practical finishing methods to create a wedding gift with long term durability and personal significance.
