The Live Board
Organic Elegance for Gatherings That Matter
There’s beauty in simplicity. Especially when it’s paired with rare natural detail. The Live Board is made from premium-grade Curly (Figured) Maple, a material found in only around 3% of all maple trees. Renowned and prized for use in musical instruments, its luminous rippling and visual depth seems to shift with the light.
Designed for effortless hosting, this live-edge charcuterie board celebrates the untamed edge of the tree, paired with clean book-matched symmetry and minimal shaping for an understated, sculptural presence. It’s where raw nature meets refined taste.
Every board is one-of-a-kind and finished to bring out the dramatic figure of the wood. An instant conversation piece, whether it’s holding aged prosciutto or nothing at all. A board so beautiful, you’ll want to design the spread to match.

Born from gratitude and love.
"I created the first Live Board as a thank you gift for lifelong friends—people whose home reflected a minimalist, nature-inspired design sensibility. I wanted to create something they couldn’t buy in stores. A charcuterie board that honored both the natural beauty of the material and the thoughtfulness of their space.
They loved it. And in making it, I found something worth sharing.
The Live Board was born from that moment—a fusion of connection, gratitude, craftsmanship, and the rare beauty of Curly Maple. Today, it remains one of the most personal pieces in our collection. Still made one at a time. Still designed to feel like a treasured gift."
