Unique Custom Serving Tray, Cheese Board, Charcuterie Or Serving Board With Copper Hammer Handles

$250

A serving tray with copper or steel hammered handles, or other custom made handles is a fabulous gift for yourself or for a wedding or anniversary! I enjoy creating custom handles to fit the serving trays. Metal can be shaped in so many ways, and I am trained in metal fabrication and casting. I have done a decent amount of hollowware work, and these simple hammered copper handles are just scratching the surface. For some reason all of these boards are made from mostly albino (sap) walnut wood with the dark heartwood shown on one of the boards. Let me know what kind of wood you prefer, or what idea you have for a handle! Unique serving trays are made to your personal needs and it helps me to help you if you let me know what you would love to see in a serving tray. How to order: Let me know what you would like by clicking on the "Contact Maker" button and describing your idea the best you can. We can collaborate on your next serving board together! The current images show hammered copper handles, but the handles could be wood, steel, brass, bronze, copper, or perhaps even precious metals such as platinum, silver or gold. Serving trays with handles will be in the $250 range, and will go up from here depending on size and other requirements and how much finish is required. My normal time frame to make these is around 5-6 weeks +/-. If you need something quickly and just need me to send you a board I may have in the studio, let me know what you desire below and that you need it quickly and If available I will choose something nice, snap a pic and once you approve, send it out to you! I look forward to working with you! Thank you, Darin M. White

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.
