Every color on this board comes from the wood itself. There are no dyes, stains, or epoxy. The Hebrew lettering is cut from maple, the pomegranates are cut from redheart and padouk, the leaves are cut from cherry, and the branches from sapele. Each piece is inlaid by hand into a solid walnut board, so the design sits flush with the surface, and the grain runs through every letter and leaf.
The board is 12" × 16", sized to hold two medium loaves side by side for hamotzi. Recessed handles routed into the underside make it easy to lift and carry to the table, and they keep the top clean and uninterrupted. The board is finished with Odie’s Oil, a food-safe natural finish that brings out the depth of the walnut and the contrast in the inlay.
The Hebrew reads V’samachta b’chagecha, “You shall rejoice in your festival,” from Deuteronomy, a reminder that celebration itself is a mitzvah. For other text versions, with the pomegranate design, you can order a made-to-order board.
It’s made in my Boston workshop, and it’s meant to become part of your Shabbat and holiday table for years to come. It’s also a meaningful gift for a wedding, a housewarming, or a new home.

12" × 16"; fits two medium challahs

Care
The inlaid side is meant for serving and display. If you’d like to slice your challah, flip the board over and use the underside as your cutting surface, or follow the tradition of tearing the bread by hand. Knife marks on the inlay side will scratch the finish and can wear down the inlay over time.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry right away. Don’t soak it or put it in the dishwasher. Re-oil occasionally with Odie’s Oil or a food-safe board oil to keep it looking rich.

All of the color on this board comes from natural wood, so it will gradually deepen and mellow with time and light, especially the redheart and padauk, which shift from bright red toward a warmer red-brown. Keep it out of direct sun to help the colors stay vivid.
