Tap Maple Charcuterie Board 24"x10"This absolutely gorgeous charcuterie board is made from "Tap Maple", which is maple from the bottom trunk of a sugar maple that had been tapped for maple syrup. When the farmer making maple syrup drills a tap hole in a sugar maple tree to get to the sap, air is introduced into the tree wood through the hole and over the years the normally blond maple wood turns brown in long streaks above and below the hole. The older the wood the darker and longer

The grain pattern of this quarter-sawn piece also includes some ray flecks that you can see in the enlarged photograph

Plum wood is quite dense so the board weighs about 8 Kgs

the trees are bulldozed into a pile

Overall size is approximately 36 inches long by 8 inches wide by 7 inches high

plane it smooth and finish it with tung oil to bring out the colour and grain

Inside colour varies with the type of wine

and 1 1/2 inches thick

We work with local land owners and farmers to salvage the wood from these trees

five glass tea light holders and five tea light candles

or sometimes even removing entire orchards to switch to another crop

Finger grooves have been carved into the ends to conveniently carry the board

The wood from these carefully pruned trees often features a colourful and swirling grain
