Collection: Shot, Serving & Display Boards

A collection of our shot boards, flight boards, trays & challenge coin boards. These products are made from the lids of WWII crates and combination of other repurposed hardware. Each piece is signed and given a hand-rubbed stain. The top-grain leather, in combination with the wood and metal, adds additional character to these versatile trays.   A portion of every purchase is donated to one or more of our chosen non-profit organizations. The original writing on the WWII crate lid states:

The writing is preserved if possible. This collection is a mix of charcuterie boards and service trays that can be used for a variety of items. 

Specs:  The T1IDR ammunition crates housed 120 cartridges, caliber .50, armor piercing incendiary M8. 10 rounds per carton, 6 cartons per can with a total of 2 cans. The crates weight was approx. 42 lbs. during its service period.

We do our best to preserve the original writing. The majority of the crates come to us with spray paint covering the specs. and several layers of dirt and debris. We hand sand these areas carefully, doing our best to not damage the weather worn stenciled specifications.

Note: Not all of these products are FDA approved surface. Our service trays have an oil based stain and varnish on them to preserve the wood. They are not meant to be cutting boards or hold raw meat. Look for special notation on the charcuterie boards that are food safe. The charcuterie boards require additional care to ensure a long life. A portion of every purchase is donated to one or more of our chosen non-profit organizations.

Special care:  If you have purchased one of our charcuterie boards they require more frequent care; to ensure a long life for your tray follow these care recommendations. 

1. The board can be cleaned with a mild or diluted cleanser, ensure that it is wiped clean and dried thoroughly.  DO NOT submerge in water. This is the quickest way to ruin your board & it’s hardware.

2. They have been cured with several layers of bees wax. Additional bees wax should be applied after a few uses. Cutting Board Mineral Oil will work as well, but eventually your board will need more bees wax.

3. Using muslin or cheese cloth, you can apply a small dime size amount of bees wax on the board and spread the wax over the entire surface (both sides & edges). DO NOT leave excess bees wax on the wood, it should be evenly spread and allowed to soak into the wood. Set the board on its side and leave over night, then wipe the surface with a clean piece of muslin or cheese cloth, and  repeat the process a few times.

4. If your board incurs several deep cuts and light stains you can sand it with 300+ grain paper and reapply bees wax.
