Charcuterie Board Handle

[Jim Becker]

Most charcuterie boards don't have "vertical" handles like serving trays do and that's for the reason that Michael just mentioned. For my friend who has me do CNC engraving for resin fill personalization, he cuts handles on the underside of the "short side edges" that allow them to be picked up and moved even when loaded with goodies. That's done with a router and a core box bit or similar. This method means storing is easy as well as better accommodating various display advantages for particularly beautiful pieces...such as those your show in the OP.

The beauty of Charcuterie boards is they can be anything you want. If you like a handle add a handle. There are all kinds of templates out there for routing them. In reality if the thing is loaded with delicious treats the handle isn't really useful on its own another hand will most likely be needed. But aesthetically if your design looks like a dazed and confused paddle I think you need a handle.
