Look at this beautiful aromatic cedar custom bar top we are almost done with. It’s going to get sealed and varnished then installed on the customers pergola over the next week!

Don’t mind the messy shop 😅

POV: Your cutting board has main character energy 🌙

One of our very first design cutting boards, and we still use it in our own kitchen today.

This anime-inspired board, with a mix of rich end-grain hardwood, purpleheart stripes, and detailed CNC inlay work to make it feel more like functional art than just a kitchen tool.

It has been used for snacks, charcuterie, cheese nights, family gatherings, and everyday cutting — and honestly, that is one of our favorite parts about it. It is pretty enough to display, but strong enough to actually use.

We make and sell this cutting board on our website through The Whirligear Dragon, along with other handcrafted boards, trays, and fantasy-inspired woodworking pieces.

Would you use a board like this, or keep it on display? 🌙 ✨

Handmade by The Whirligear Dragon Fantasy-inspired woodworking, made for real use.

My daughter got a piece of cherry scrap for free from the wood warehouse and her and I made a project out of it. We first did an stone shaped epoxy top then she wanted it to be a “shusher” so we put an orb around it. As I was getting rid of air bubbles one got trapped and she asked to leave it and now it looks like magic trapped in there!
Should we make more?

Functional tools can still carry a lot of personality. The Whirligear Dragon creates handcrafted wooden cutting boards that balance durability, design, and everyday usefulness, offering kitchen tools made to be used, not just displayed.
Their work reflects an appreciation for craftsmanship and materials, showing how thoughtfully made products can support cooks, chefs, and food businesses while adding character to the kitchen.

Stop by and connect with The Whirligear Dragon at Field to Fork to see their cutting boards and learn more about their process. The festival is free to attend, and vendor registration is available for businesses interested in participating and connecting across Idaho’s food system.

Join us at JUMP Boise on February 12th!
