Hi all, I wanted to let you know that we are currently running an extra 10% off Seconds! Seconds are made with the same process as all our boards, but feature minor “aesthetic flaws.” I use that term loosely, because the majority of our Seconds have nothing wrong with them… the strips just...

For years, I’ve wanted to play with exotic wood, tinted epoxy, and metal inlay in our cutting boards with the hope of creating visual art that was also functional. Last month, Chulmin and I finally got a chance to bring some of our creative ideas to life. Some have been in my mind for years, so...

Hey all, I wanted to let you know about our current sale. Last month, we launched two new products - an 8-Piece Utensil Set with Holder and a Cutting Board Care Kit. This month, we’ve decided to package them together and offer the bundle at a discounted price. We’ve received great feedback on...

Hey everyone, sorry it’s been so long. Lots going on here - we’ve bought a new shop, grown our team, and have been busy working on lots of new projects. Our butcher block business that is now almost 20 years old is going strong. I wanted to give a quick update on a couple new things. We...

We just went live with these grilling planks made from 9-12 year old bourbon barrels. Our shop smells... wonderful. Freshly sawn white oak and bourbon wafting through the air. Knob Creek sent me enough bung staves to do a couple hundred of these. My wife and I are looking forward to grilling...

I've been approached by a bourbon brand interested in having me make salmon grill planks out of their white oak bourbon barrels lids. They are sending me some barrels to play with. They are sending both 9 year old premium barrels and 4-5 year old 'regular' barrels. Anyone have experience using...

Quick head's up on promotions this year. I'm doing 3 of them: 1) Black Friday: Now through midnight tomorrow (Sunday night), free 8 oz board butter when you spend $200. This appears/applies automatically. No code needed. 2) Cyber Monday: Midnight Sunday until supplies run out, I'm giving a...

HI folks, sorry I've been AWOL. We've been busy (new website, new e-commerce platform, new shipping platform, 3 kids trying to do virtual school, and lots of orders to make). I wanted to get your thoughts on an issue that pops up a couple times a year. I make and ship an order, UPS or FedEx...

I posted this on social media, but realize not everyone sees that so wanted to put it up here as well. This butcher block was made/purchased in 2005. Dave was probably still in his first year of business at that time. I've honestly never seen this brand before, so he must have only used it a...

Got some nice ones; almost all are 12 X 18's this time. Specials and "Seconds" Archives - The BoardSmith I know these pics aren't the best, but hopefully they show enough detail. Also, if anyone is looking for something funky/different, my apprentice (Nik) has been working on some cool stuff...

Sad day, folks. David Smith, the original founder of the Boardsmith, passed away on Monday. He was quite fond of the KKF community and grateful for the support that you all showed him in the early years of the business. I took over the business exactly 5 years ago, and I will remember David as...

I just uploaded a big batch of manufacturer's seconds to the website. Since we are busier than one-armed paper hangers during Christmas season, this will likely be the last batch of seconds I have for the next several months. As always, y'all get first dibs... BTW, I still have some nice...

Just uploaded these here: http://www.theboardsmith.com/product-category/butchers-blocks/specials-seconds/ Some of these are really neat. I experimented with some new angles and I think it paid off. These 5 cutting boards came from around 600 lbs of hardwood lumber... craziness.

I'm selling some amazing serving trays as a favor to a friend. I've also got a few nice large seconds, and a gorgeous blond bombshell mosaic block. Uploading the listings today. http://www.theboardsmith.com/product-category/butchers-blocks/specials-seconds/

This might be pushing the boundaries of 'new gear' a bit. I have/had a 15 year old GE fridge. Works fine for the most part. Water dispenser is broken, but otherwise it's ok. But it's old enough that I've been concerned that I'd need a replacement sooner rather than later. So I'm bidding this...

I've finally gotten around to photographing and uploading around 25 one-offs and seconds. Many of you have been patiently waiting. This is almost all of the inventory I have, other than a little stack of prototypes that have been gathering dust for years. Please let me know if you see any...

I've gotten a number of requests for smaller boards. Wondering if that's something that would have broader appeal for light duty tasks. I know scale is difficult in pictures, but this little cherry board is 10" X 14" X 1 1/4" thick. It probably weighs 3 lbs or so. I like the size and the...

I've got about 25 one-offs and manufacturer's seconds waiting to be photographed and listed on the website. I'm going to try to get at least the first set of them on the website today. Many of the seconds are really nice, and I've got a good variety of sizes and species this time. Feel free to...
