Discovering Artisan Wood for Geppetta Charcuterie Boards

At Geppetta, every charcuterie board is a labor of love, crafted with quality and individuality in mind. To create something truly unique, I go beyond just selecting beautiful wood. I partner with small, self-employed artisans who take immense pride in their craft. These are the one-man-band vendors who source, mill, and prepare each piece of wood by hand. Supporting these dedicated craftspeople not only ensures that every board tells its own story, but also keeps the artistry of woodworking alive.

My latest wood-sourcing adventure took me just minutes from home, where I discovered an incredible new vendor. In his outdoor shop, I was surrounded by a stunning variety of wood, each piece full of character and natural beauty. From carefully selecting trees to milling and planing each slab himself, this vendor’s dedication to his work is inspiring. I knew immediately that his pieces would bring something extraordinary to my boards.

 The Journey from Wood to Charcuterie Board🪚

 Each Geppetta board starts with a simple but important step: finding the right piece of wood. This means not only searching for quality, but also looking for wood with unique characteristics that will make it stand out as a finished board. When I source from artisans like my latest vendor, I know I’m getting more than just a raw material. I’m bringing a piece of their story—and their passion for woodworking—into every board I create.

 After selecting the wood, I take it to my studio for the next stage of its journey. This part requires a bit of work and a lot of patience, but it’s worth every minute. The process of shaping, sanding, and finishing each board allows me to bring out its natural beauty while ensuring it’s smooth, durable, and ready for gatherings around the table.

 Craftsmanship That Stands Out🏆🏆

 Each Geppetta board is crafted with attention to detail, from the selection of the wood to the finishing touches. To add an extra level of uniqueness, I handpick Italian hardware during my trips abroad. These elements aren’t just decorations—they’re a testament to the time and thought that goes into every Geppetta piece.

 For those who value quality, craftsmanship, and a personal connection to the products they use, Geppetta boards offer something truly special. Each board is an heirloom-quality piece, crafted from organic, toxin-free materials, with a story rooted in artisan skill and dedication. My goal is to create a charcuterie board that’s not only functional but a beautiful addition to your home, one that brings people together and celebrates the art of sharing food.

 Supporting Local Artisans👏👏👏

 Working with small, independent vendors is one of the most rewarding parts of my journey. When you purchase a Geppetta board, you’re not only supporting my small business but also helping sustain local artisans who pour their heart into their work. It’s about keeping the traditions of craftsmanship alive and ensuring that handmade, high-quality products have a place in our everyday lives.

 Thank you for joining me on this journey, and for appreciating the artistry and quality that go into every Geppetta board. I’m excited to share this latest collection with you, and I look forward to seeing how you make each board part of your story.
