The shamrock shaped cutting board was exactly what I was looking for! It matched the description and I can’t wait to use it! I will be serving Irish soda bread on it for St. Patrick’s Day! Thank you, Tom, for your beautiful work!

The SHOP where I spend most of my days.
Inside the shop, charging station pieces, cutting boards.
Another bench with more charging station pieces.
Wood strips cut to size that will be glued up for cutting board blanks. These are 20in long. Different hardwoods.
Another view of the shop.

Nothing gives me more pleasure than taking a plain piece of wood and making something useful

I started my shop after a phone call from my son telling me I wanted to set up on Etsy. He had listed a gumball machine and it sold in a couple of days. I took a look at some of the wood items I had on hand and took some pictures and did some listings. I'll never forget my first sale--a Wall Hanging Sled. I remember the good ole days with forums. I would talk to different people and get suggestions on different cutting boards to make. As time went on I would get requests to make a "sheep" cutting board, "wine bottle" cutting board, "butterfly" cutting board. At one point I couldn't keep "Penguin" cutting boards in stock. Cutting boards continue to be a big seller and my Charging Stations sell quite well.
99% of my cutting boards are made from strips of wood. I use maple, beech, ash, cherry, hickory, oak and elm for the boards. I set up the mixed hardwood strips to make what I call a "blank". Some are 20" long, then 15" and finally a 12". The width is 11-12". I glue and clamp, let dry and run them through a planer when I am ready to make a board. After cutting I sand the edges, if the board needs eyes I install them and sand both sides of the board, put it on the router and round-over all the edges, then finish sand and coat with mineral oil.
My charging stations are made from oak or cherry hardwood. It is a long process from a piece of wood to a useful product. I usually make a "run" of 5-6 units at the same time.
At this point creating useful items is still Fun.
