Personalized Branded Or Engraved Serving Board
Serving boards are a fabulous choice for gifts at any time, but always nice for special event such as holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, events, for business clients, or parties. These serving boards work well for cheese, charcuterie, bread, meats, crackers, sushi, drinks and more. I will make these for your specific needs. To make these functional art pieces even more personal they can be laser engraved, wood burned, branded, inlaid, and more. Let me go and see what I can come up with for you, or bring a very specific idea, either way it will be a one-of-a-kind creation. In addition to the cutting boards and serving trays, I am also providing carved bowls and beer flight tray which can be engraved or branded as well. Click on the Contact Maker button and describe to me what you are interested in, or feel free to send an example inspiration image. Time frame will be dependent on each project. Whether a family crest, wedding name and date or business logo I look forward to creating personalized branded objects that will be treasured for generations.

As an artist, I found my love of objects at an early age. I was always drawing diagrams on napkins and discussing how things were made, like my father and grandfather. They owned and operated a display manufacturing business, so I was around design and material process from the beginning. My entrepreneurial career began around the age of seven, when I asked my dad to help me cut out some wood shapes on a small jigsaw, added color and sold them on the driveway. i was hooked.
After a year playing college football and throwing javelin in Indiana, I honed my art skills especially metal fabrication and casting finishing with a BFA in sculpture at the University of Kansas. During art school my brother Brian and I designed and made alternative clothing for the skate crowd. My wife and I began selling visual merchandising products to retailers, eventually garnering major clients all over the world. We also started HAVA studios to collaborate on creative projects which led to unique and very high end work. Many times I was providing the design and project management and not having the time to work on the making. I have had to carve out time to make art and also collaborated with my wife on award winning public art.
A few years ago, after chain saw carving a large 8' sculpture out of a huge spalted maple log. The wood cut away was so beautiful, so I carved my wife small piece and hung it on a silver chain. She received many comments and requests about the "wearable sculpture" pendant and I started making them for family and friends, and eventually galleries. Because splating is a natural process; like a finger print, there are no two alike. I expanded the hand carvings to earrings and rings, and then started making other objects including small freestanding sculptures and charcuterie/cheese serving boards, while filling custom requests for furniture and lighting as well as interior design.
My work is driven by my love of shape and form. I tend to be minimal in design. I work with whatever material is the best for the project but have an affinity for wood and metal. I also work in stone, acrylic, glass, resin, foam, and many other unique materials. I take commissions while also producing my original designs. My fine artwork is available upon request.

Jun 3, 2022I curated Darin to create a piece for an employee who recently purchased their dream home. Darin's communication, attention to detail and professionalism is second to none. Thank you for an excellent piece that my employee will enjoy for many years.

Mar 5, 2018I ordered a walnut charcuterie board to give as a gift and was so impressed with the quality of the board that I immediately ordered another one. The recipients love them. Darin is amazing to work with - professional and talented. He keeps you updated on the project and is so easy to communicate with - boards were carefully packaged and shipped on time. Will order again from Darin.

Jun 14, 2021I was desperately searching for a specific charcuterie board for a family weekend when I came across Darin’s website. While he had a few finished boards available, I wanted a little different shape. I asked Darin if he could create a board for me and have it shipped to arrive within 10 days. A bit unreasonable, yes! But Darin was so willing to work with me to create a board for my event. He sent me pictures of different woods and we finally settled on a red wood elm with a bark edge. Not only did it arrive on time but it was early. It was perfect. Just beautiful. I have received so many compliments from my friends and family. I keep it out in the kitchen as decor because it is a unique piece of art that cannot be kept in a cabinet. Darin was so wonderful to work with. He was professional, great with communication and so kind to work with me under such a crazy timeline. I highly recommend Darin and would buy from him again.

Thanks go to Darin for taking the time to work with us on the fine points and details that really made this a special item. We met several times during the process to consult on these decisions. This was a unique design and Darin's professionalism and careful approach made the difference.

Jun 13, 2018Darin was fantastic to work with. He gave us many options to choose from, he was excellent at communication, and the end product was exactly what we were looking for. Darin is a true artist and was able to mold a piece of wood into a gorgeous charcuterie board that served as the center piece for our 50th birthday party. Everyone loved the piece. I highly recommend using Darin for any wood-working,
