I have been asked to make many of the XL version serving boards from this Cuban Mahogany "live Edge" wood that i have decided to just make a new listing and show several woods and sizes…All XL boards are at least 24" x 10" and some being larger by request at this price. All boards are finished to 400 grit hand sanding and coated multiple time with 100% Tung Nut Oil. All of my exotic woods are reclaimed from the storms we get here in South Florida and aged for several years then cut into slabs to dry another year.

My name is Dave Sutton.
Retiring after fifteen years of being a professional flats guide here in South Florida due to the 2009 recession and the gulf oil spill.
I then worked at home for Hotel Vanities International and have a small, but very well equipped wood shop in the back yard.
I have now moved to the mountains of Murphy, North Carolina and am in the process of building my retirement home and new workshop.
For almost 40 years I have given my very best effort to create heirloom quality pieces for every one of my customers that will last a lifetime.
Almost 4 decades of wood crafting has taught me one thing. If I want it done just right…
I have to do it myself.
If I don't like it, you won't see it. It's that simple.
I am the designer, craftsman and woodworker,
I pick the log and the slabs, I do the shaping and all the sanding. All of the assembly and fitting ??? Yup…all me.
I also do the hand rubbed finishes myself as well.
I learned my trade growing up in Rhode Island building handmade strip-wood canoes, hand made cabinets, slab furniture and working in various shipyards on the coast of Maine till I moved to Florida in 1990.
Finding all of the exotic woods available to me here was amazing. I was like a little kid in a candy store.
I now have built and moved into my retirement cabin in Murphy, NC and have just finished my new workshop. I love the mountains and the people here …

For Heavy Duty Walking Cane/ Walking Stick - Black Walnut (American)Dave helped me in crafting a custom cane for my 6'3" 300 pound father. We were able to specify the woods used and Dave made several recommendations I would not have thought of to ensure it would support his weight. The finish and craftsmanship are top notch. Dave stayed in touch through the process updating me on status and ship date. I highly recommend you consider Dave for your project.

For Live Edge Walnut Cutting Board And Serving Boards. Limited Inventory! Please See Other Listings.I just received the cutting board I ordered for my husband, and he loves it!!! Mr. Sutton was very easy to work with. He returned calls and emails very quickly and worked to find and stain a piece of wood and that my husband wanted. We are very pleased!!

For Walking Sticks Or CanesI have previously worked with Dave, and that is what brought me back. Not only is his work beautiful and well made, it is affordable. He is amicable and very professional. I am very happy with his work, his person, and how easy it is to communicate with him to achieve a beautiful hand-crafted item!

For Live Florida Oak CaneI'm thrilled with the product, and definitely would love to work with Dave again should the opportunity arise. I couldn't have asked for a better product. I did not think I would own a cane of this beautiful workmanship, but Dave gladly worked with me to make it happen. Thanks a million Dave.
