Effective April 30th, 2022, Elbin Art will be offering cheese serving boards and cheese slicer boards made from Italian Olive Wood. During the development of the products, Elbin decided to start using Howards Products for conditioning and finishing of these two particular products. Howard Cutting Board Oil and the Howard Cutting Board Conditioner are applied to these products for seasoning & conditioning. This enables an Elbin Art customer to source the Howard Cutting Board Conditioner locally in most cases so that they may condition and maintain these two products on a regular basis to rejuvenate the wood and prevent drying.

While Elbin Art started out utilizing mostly whiskey and wine barrel staves for products, Elbin decided to develop other products that do not incorporate a barrel stave. In keeping with the theme of beautiful Oak, which is what a lot of barrel staves are made of, Elbin Art is now making products from quarter sawn American White Oak lumber and quarter sawn European Oak lumber. Elbin personally selects the American White Oak from a couple wood vendors in the US and personally selects the Imported European Oak from one particular wood vender in the US. After carefully selecting the raw wood boards, the boards are then shaped, sanded numerous times, stained and coated to make for a beautiful and functional display piece.

In the past, Elbin would use finished wood that was available at local home improvement stores for the handles and pads on servers as well as shelves on pieces. Many times it would be red oak as white oak would not be available. The staves used for his pieces are typically white oak so when the shelves, pads and handles were stained, there was a difference in color between them and the whiskey stave. Going forward, the handles, pads and shelves are all white oak. This requires more time to prepare pads and shelves as the white oak for them are selected from raw sawn lumber that is then planed down to the right thickness required for the pads and shelves. It is important to continue to perfect the pieces that Elbin makes so that the owner of the piece will have a product to enjoy for years.

Please note that Elbin Art does not make any glasses or any of the hardware on the products (openers, clocks, candles, metal handles, screws, bolts, metal hooks, etc.). Elbin Art makes many wood products that hold/display coins, poker chips, etc. and while Elbin Art also sells some coins (not made by Elbin Art) those coins are sold/shipped separately.

While Elbin Art does offer custom laser engraving on certain Elbin Art wood products, Elbin Art will not do any laser engraving of company logos unless the customer has provided written permission from the particular company. Elbin Art does not do any laser engraving of any College logos, Pro sports team logos or military logos as they are copyright protected and Elbin Art currently does not have a license from those organizations to use their logos for engraving. Elbin Art does not do engraving on glasses, etc.

Some standard Elbin Art wood products may have engraving/inlay where the graphics used for the engraving or inlay may not have been developed by Elbin Art. In those particular cases, Elbin Art paid for the use of those graphic designs from graphic designer and based on the graphic design seller's guidelines (which may vary on a case by case basis). While Elbin Art may have purchased the clip art for use on a Commercial product, Elbin Art does not own the copyright for the clipart - the graphic designer owns the copyright. DO NOT copy any of the graphics for personal or commercial use as you must pay for the use of the artwork from the graphic art seller. Some graphic art seller guidelines may or may not require recognition of their work however Elbin Art will always list who the graphics was purchased from for the piece regardless if recognition is required or not for a few reasons - Elbin Art is not taking credit for graphics that was not made by me, give credit to the graphics designer that did the work and reinforce that Elbin Art takes copyright/trademark laws seriously.

Please note that Elbin Art DOES NOT produce or sell any type of alcohol. Any bottles shown with products are for display purposes ONLY. Elbin Art only sells and ships his wood products within the US.
