Mancala Board With Custom Engraving
These beautiful mancala boards are made from solid walnut or cherry wood. They're sanded smooth and finished with a traditional hand-rubbed tung oil finish that highlights the natural wood grain. Each board comes with a set of glass playing pieces in a cotton bag. We don't use stains or dyes, so the cherry board starts out a little lighter than what's often called "cherry." With time, the color will deepen to a rich reddish brown that we find much prettier than the artificial red "cherry finish" you'll find elsewhere. DIMENSIONS - 18" long x 6.75" wide x 1" thick - 5/8" glass pieces (some variation in size) FEATURES - Handmade in our family-owned shop - Made from solid or walnut cherry wood - Comes with a set of multi-colored glass playing pieces in a cotton bag - Optional custom engraving: we can engrave names, dates, or a message on the back or side of the board.

Jul 30, 2017Nathan was flexible and worked with me in designing a custom cutting board to fit a slot in my cabinetry. I would highly recommend Nathan to anyone who isn't sure which way to go, or who has a partial idea that needs to develop.

Oct 18, 2017Wow - Nathan is a true craftsman. I can honestly say, he FAR exceeded my expectations. I had him create a custom keepsake box as a wedding gift for my wife and he was able to inscribe it with a custom design and phrase that I made myself using MS Powerpoint. That made it really easy to get the inscription to look and say exactly as I wanted. Anyway - back to the woodwork. The attention to detail (added chamfers to soften corners, sanding work and subtle varnish, the inlays, the joints) is way above anything you are going to find from all but the best craftsman. The fit and finish is - in a word - perfect. (and that is high praise - I myself am an OCD engineer perfectionist). What made it even more special was the wood cuts he chose. The wood grains simply look other worldy. I never knew wood could pop like this and make you unable to look away. Its that gorgeous. Nathan has created an heirloom that will now be in my family for generations. Simply exquisite. Thank you Nathan!!
