The Kingsbury Workshop

Custom cutting boards, built by hand.

I’m Michael, and The Kingsbury Workshop is my one-person woodshop in Washington State. Every board is made to order: your wood, your size, your design. If you can imagine it, let’s build it.

Made to order, one board at a time

I build edge grain and end grain cutting boards from the wood species you choose, at the size you need. Edge grain gives you the classic butcher-block look. End grain shows the ends of the wood in a checkerboard or pattern and makes a real centerpiece.

Every board is quoted individually, and every cutting board comes with Michael’s Board Butter.

Get to
know me

I’m Michael, a Navy vet who finds calm and focus in the woodshop. I’m kicking off my CNC journey and using this site to document what I learn, from toolpaths and settings to finishes, mistakes, and wins. If it sparks a custom idea, reach out. Otherwise, enjoy the process with me.
