Sushi Boards
Sushi Boards
These handcrafted sushi boards are constructed with a matching taper
sliding dovetail joint fastening the central board to the legs.
This joint is so tight it must be clamped together, resulting in
a board that is never going to come apart. The coved ends and
curved, canted legs lend the form a grace worthy of the most
elegantly ceremonial presentation. Available as shown, in west
Indian satinwood interior with che-chen frame, . These are available at a discount in
quantity (12 or more) for restaurants looking for the finest
presentation boards made anywhere, for sushi, or cheese boards.
Mount Fuji Sushi Board
This inlaid sushi board features a depiction of a koa Mount Fuji, with holly snow cap, a rising satinwood sun in a curly maple sky, and foreground mountains of cherry, all framed in a sapele with legged bread board ends. The mountain and sun inlays are a full 3/16" thick, about 8 x the thickness of conventional inlay, so this board will stand up to the rigors of use as a cutting board.
The middle section of the board is joined to the legs by a sliding dovetail, glued only in the middle --so tight it must be pounded home with a mallet. This allows seasonal movement of the width of the midsection of the board, while keeping it rock solidly joined to the legs --true heirloom quality construction.
Mount Fuji Sushi Board
Here's the reverse side of our Munt Fuji sushi board. As you can see the inlay of the mountain and sun doesn't go through, but the cherry mountains foreground is cut full thickness with the curly maple sky. Some people enjoy using the board upside down, as the sleigh-like ends help contain whatever you'd like to carry. Of course the board is more beautiful right side up!
Mount Fuji Sushi Board
Here's the night time version of our Mount Fuji sushi board.
It features a koa mountain with quilted maple snowcap, and
rising holly moon in a walnut sky, with Brazilian cherry (jatoba)
foreground, all in a sapele frame. The middle section of the
board is joined to the legs by a sliding dovetail, glued only in
the middle --so tight it must be pounded home with a mallet.
This allows seasonal movement of the width of the midsection of
the board, while keeping it rock solidly joined to the legs
--true heirloom quality construction.
Hawaiian Bouquet Jewelry Box
Here is a corner detail, of an open lid, showing the mango butterfly spline that secures each corner. These are driven into the miter joints at assembly from the bottom, forming a joint that needs no glue (I glue them anyway). Another extraordinary detail on an extraordinary jewelry box.

Hawaiian Bouquet Jewelry Box
Since koa has such bold and variable figure, it's especially important to match grain, and select wood carefully. My koa boxes are often made by re-sawing a piece long enough for one short side and one long side, and so I get a perfect grain match all the way around, with two book-matched corners, and two simple continuations of the grain. Pictured is a book-matched corner.
