Look how beautiful this board is... Look how that red of the Bubinga wood pops... Look at the amazing contrast between it and the Poplar...

Look up on this board and know that I hate it with every ounce of my being... It started off as a brisket board... 3 inches thick... 27" long, 16" wide...

And then, things started going... Poorly... One of the handle cutouts went wrong and I had to chop 3 inches off the length. Then it went wrong again, I managed to salvage it that time without sacrificing length, but it's not perfect... Also when I was trimming the sides, it jumped on the table saw so I had to take 2 inches more off the width than I wanted...

And then we got to the step of adding the Blood Trough (Juice Groove if you prefer) and s**t just got worse. FIVE times the carving of the groove went wrong and I had to plane off 1/8-1/4 of an inch and try again. After the 5th time and having lost 1.5 inches or so of thickness I said the hell with a groove.

So now we have a 24"x14"x1.5" groove-less brisket board that will be available at Nederland Farmers and Artisans Market tomorrow morning at a very discounted price. Please come buy it so I can stop looking at it and remembering all the pain it caused me.

This board obviously wasn't meant to have a Blood Trough (juice groove). This is the 5th time it has gone wrong and I've had to plane off 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch and start over. It's gone from 3" thick down to 2" after this planing. It's just gonna have to be a groove-less brisket board.

For those of you who have been asking and/or curious, yes we will have cutting boards (around 23"x13"x.75") and smaller brisket boards (around 24"x15"X2") in time for Christmas gifts! Larger brisket boards (around 28-32"x18-20"x2") will be by custom order only this year.

Just in case y'all forgot, I still make Charcuterie boards, I just mostly only do them to order these days. These 3 sets (Charcuterie board and 5 matching coasters) are some that I started last year but never got around to finishing. Well, they're finished and available now, and Christmas will be here before you know it, one of these sets would make a great gift for a loved one. $125 for the set. Or if you want a different epoxy color, get with me, we can work out the details and have it ready by Christmas.

Fun times. New thing in the works, bottle openers. Roughly 3" round, hardwood, magnets on the bottom to stick to toolboxes, fridges, etc. Even better, looking at different options to put logos on the top side if you got a business... still need to do quite a bit of research on that front to figure out the best and most cost effective way to do that...

Want your cutting boards personalized? I can do that. Names, usage labels, whatever. My "standard" boards measure around 10x16 and are $40 un-personalized. +$10 for personalization. Come see me at Boomtown Market tomorrow evening at Pour Brothers Brewery in Beaumont. (I can't personalize them at the event, but I'll have 15 or so boards ready to go. Pick out your board, tell me what you want on it, and I'll have it ready for you within a couple days.)

Hey guys... do you have the problem that your meat is too big for its holder? We've all been there, it happens to the best of us. But are you tired of having to put your big ol meat on one of your wife's cookie sheets cause you don't have a cutting board big enough for that brisket or rack of dino ribs? Don't be that guy any more. Get yourself a world famous Dick Cox Woodworking brand Brisket Board. Regardless of what your exes have told you, size DOES matter. This beauty here is 17.25" by 23.5". Its got a 1/2" juice groove, its got handles, its friggin 1.5" thick. Its even got an awesome logo carved into the bottom.

Want a particular wood pattern? Need a specific size? Got an awesome name, logo, image, etc you want lasered/burned onto the top? Want rubber feet on it? I can do all that, just hit me up. Prices depend on size, options, etc.

Did someone say cutting boards? Got a batch of 20+ coming soon. 2 have already been claimed before they're even finished. They'll be going fast, and whatever is left over at the end of the month will be at our booth at Riverfest.

I know its been quiet around here, but I'm still working on stuff I promise. Mostly trying to get better with the CNC machine, using it to surface and carve out a brisket board currently. Been playing around with the engraving aspect of it as well to get better there. Will have plenty of boards and other stuff available at Riverfest at the end of the month!
