Bravo Company Shops is a full service shop specializing in antique restoration and unique builds inspired by the characteristics of each piece of reclaimed wood. I am not a factory with an assembly line, I am one person who enjoys making things with my hands. My shop is very informal, my processes are simple. If you want a custom shelf give me a call and we will work out the details the old fashioned way; by talking.

Reclaimed Wormy Chestnut cheese/serving platters and boards
Reclaimed Wormy Chestnut cheese/serving platters and boards
These unique, handmade serving/cheese boards are made from very rare Wormy Chestnut 2x4s I salvaged from a house in West Virginia 45 years ago. (See below for a short history of the American Chestnut Blight.) I included a picture of the actual 2x4s used. I make these by resawing (cut in half along the narrow edge) the 2x4s, then joining the mirror halves to make these beautiful Wormy Chestnut cheese/serving boards. Even the leather loop on these exquisite boards is repurposed, coming from a discarded bull whip. I estimate this wood to be about 115 years old.
Size:
Standard – 8” x 20” (including handle)
All of my serving boards are finished with approved food safe products, oils and waxes.
*Serving boards made from reclaimed wood are not recommended as cutting boards.
The pictures here are intended as a representative sample for my Wormy Chestnut serving boards. You will receive a board made from the same pattern, the same size and of the same type wood as the sample. All of these boards are handmade by me from 100% reclaimed Wormy Chestnut, therefore each item is literally one of a kind with different wood characteristics and individual reclaimed attributes including but not limited to grain, color, dimensional uniformity, checks, splits, cracks, holes, knots, warp, twist, bow, cuts, scrapes, scratches etc. No two pieces are the same so please consider this before you order.
If you’re interested in a custom size board I can make these in virtually any size you need.
