Completed charcuterie board
This project kit includes everything you need to make it yourself, including the hand tools.
Transform a piece of eastern black walnut into a live-edge charcuterie board while you develop your surface preparation and wood-finishing skills. You will learn how to use three different finishing products that will ensure your board will last for years: QuickCure 5 epoxy for filling voids and cracks, Walrus Oil cutting board oil to seal the natural wood tones, and Clapham’s beeswax finish to give it a soft, lustrous shine.
Suitable for adults, beginner to intermediate, as well as for children 14 years and older when supervised by an adult. This project takes approximately 2 days to complete, allowing a few hours on the first day, drying and curing time overnight, and less than 30 minutes on the second day.
Components of the kit are listed under the Specifications tab.
You will also have access to the step-by-step video and a downloadable copy of the instructions.

Plan on about two days, since the epoxy and finishing oils each need overnight time to cure between steps.
It includes a 1/2" Narex bevel-edge chisel and a Bahco steel cabinet scraper, along with sanding sponges in three grits for shaping and smoothing the board.
It's a dressed, live-edge eastern black walnut blank, roughly 16" × 8" × 3/4" thick, with its natural bark-edge contour left intact for the project.
