Personalized Serving Tray, Charcuterie Board, Or Spirits Tray For Weddings
You want to thank the people closest to you, who have been there to help make your big day as special as it can be! A great bridesmaid or groomsman gift is a personalized serving tray or charcuterie board, or even a whiskey, beer or tequila tray. These boards can also be made to be part of the wedding as centerpieces, or other elements at the reception. They can be personalized with the wedding parties name, your wedding date, images, designs, or anything you wish. I can laser engrave, hand pyrography wood burn, brand, epoxy shapes/colors or carve into the boards. These heirloom quality functional art pieces will be a cherished gift they can have for many years to remind them of your wedding. These also work very well for anniversary gifts. Let me know they look or style you are going for and I can help design similar or individual boards for each person in the party.

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.

For Natural Burl Wood Charcuterie Or Serving Board5.0When I received this board I was sceptical that I would not be fully satisfied for as an art collector for 40 years I have become very demanding. Well to my incredulous view of this final product was without any doubt absolutely stunning. Darin White is an accomplished artist let alone a true professional who follows his client from beginning to final shipment. I truly hope that craftsmen of this caliber stay in business for a long time. Thanks again Darin and best of luck.

For Walnut Wood Charcuterie, Cheese, Bread, Serving Or Cutting Board5.0It was so much fun collaborating with Darin on a custom made charcuterie board. The final product, a large burl elm board, was amazing. Darin worked with me to select the desired wood and size for my board. He provided updates throughout the creation process. If I have another wood board project I will use Darin.

For Walnut Wood Charcuterie, Cheese, Bread, Serving Or Cutting Board4.8Darin was wonderful to work with. From the initial conversation to the end, the project went very smoothly and finished ahead of schedule. He was very patient with my numerous questions and even sent photos of rough wood for me to choose my exact piece, lending a custom feeling to the finished Charcuterie Board. It came out beautifully and I will definitely use Darin again for a project like this. Thank you Darin
