AK Designs

Hi everyone, here is a recent board that I handmade at my home in Crossford. The wood is locally sourced Scottish Elm (from Scottish Wood) and is finished with a food-safe oil and rubber feet to stop any slipping. There is a lovely live edge on the front that really gives this board character. It also features my branded logo on the bottom.

This board is perfect for a smaller kitchen as an everyday chopping board, or even as a larger cheese/charcuterie board. The dimensions are: 29cm x 29cm x 4.5cm.

This board is for sale, so please get in touch if you're interested. Please also get in touch if there is something there you like the look of for a future build. Thank you!

Here are two recent chopping boards made from local oak. These heavy duty boards are ideal for everyday chopping or as charcuterie boards for cheese etc! I used a small amount of resin in each to fill some of the gaps giving each board a really nice finish.

I love being able to use these bits of wood and turning them into something useful instead of them being burnt or thrown away.

Made some lovely elm boards that would make great charcuterie or chopping boards!

I finished them with a food safe cutting board oil to give them that matte finish and to really make the grain pop. I added some handles and rubber feet as well to make them practical for use at home.

They measure just over 30cm x 20cm so that they don't take up too much space in the kitchen, but are big enough for a cheese board or just for chopping veg.

Let me know what you think.

Here is my most recent coffee table made from my favourite locally sourced Elm. I used a mixture of blue and clear resin to really empathise the lovely natural grain and burr on this piece.

This one measures: 38cm x 58cm and stands 58cm tall with adjustable feet.

A lovely Charcuterie board made from locally sourced Scottish Elm here in Crossford. I used a clear resin this time to really emphasise the natural beauty and pattern of the burr. It's finished with gold leaf flecks and stylish golden handles to make a perfect centre piece for any charcuterie feast!

Here is a recent side table I made using locally sourced Elm and a lovely blue resin river. This is definitely one of my favourite combinations to do, can't beat that Elm burr!

Here is a recent commission of three lovely side tables made using local Elm and a deep blue resin.

If you like the look of these, or any of the other designs on here, then please get in contact and we can discuss. Thanks!

Here is another recent handmade coffee table. This one is made using locally sourced sustainable elm burr with a lovely transparent blue resin. This allows you to see the gorgeous burr patterns from the top and sides. Polished to a smooth matte finish, this table is finished off with a classic pair of metallic black legs. It measures 85 x 50cm and stands 45cm tall. This was definitely a fun one to make and see finished! Let me know what you think!

Here is the final recycled pallet and resin table! This one was a labour of love but I'm really happy with the result.
