Charcuterie Board

Hand forged heirloom charcuterie board sculpted from a single, century-old black walnut slab—its heartwood veined with liquid amber and obsidian rivers that no factory could ever mimic.

Each board is born in the quiet of a master artisan’s atelier, where calloused hands coax the wood’s hidden cathedrals to the surface with whispered strokes of a hand plane. The grain erupts in tidal waves of chocolate and caramel, interrupted only by sapphire knots—ancient scars that tell of lightning strikes and forgotten winters. No two Monarchs are alike; yours bears the fingerprint of a tree that stood while empires rose and fell.

Run your fingers along edges softened by a secret blend of beeswax and blood-orange oil—warm, almost alive, releasing faint notes of toasted vanilla and earth when the evening’s first prosciutto unfurls across its expanse. The board’s subtle live-edge bow cradles wheels of brie like a crescent moon, while a hidden reservoir (carved beneath the handle) catches rogue fig jam or the last defiant drip of truffle honey.

At 14 inches of imperious length, it commands the table like a Renaissance banquet slab, yet weighs just enough to pass from host to heir without ceremony. Serve on it once, and your guests will speak of the board long after the wine is gone—how the walnut drank the candlelight, how the meats tasted of the forest itself.

This is not a charcuterie board. This is a legacy. Priced not for the wood, but for the centuries it carries and the stories it will outlive.
