Gungil 'Grass' Dhangaang Serving Boards
Current production time: minimum 3 weeks
Add a touch of uniqueness to your family gatherings by presenting your snacks on these exquisite Acacia Wood serving boards, featuring my hand-painted Aboriginal designs. Whether you're curating a cheese platter, a grazing feast, or a fruit extravaganza – heck, go ahead and create a dessert platter too! #nojudgementhere #youdoyouboo 😂
Each board is meticulously hand-painted in regional NSW in Uranquinty, situated on Wiradjuri country, where 'dhangaang' translates to 'food' in the Wiradjuri language. Crafted with care using Acacia wood and adorned with acrylic paint, these boards are then clear-coated with a food-safe varnish for both aesthetic appeal and practical durability.
Measuring 54cm in length, 15cm in width, and 2cm in depth, these boards offer a generous canvas for your culinary creativity.
Please note that each board is created upon order placement, and the most current production timeframes (excluding delivery) can be checked on the Serving Boards page and at the top of this listing.
While we take pride in the unique beauty of wood, it's essential to recognize its living nature. Over time, your wooden item may undergo changes such as warping, cracking, or variations in color and grain pattern due to environmental factors like humidity and temperature. Rest assured, these traits do not compromise the artistic integrity but rather contribute to the individual charm. To ensure the longevity of your wooden piece, we recommend placing it in a stable environment away from extreme conditions.
As with any hand-painted design, slight variations, including differences in paint colors and design, may occur. Embrace these unique characteristics as they enhance the distinct charm of your individual piece.

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your hand-painted serving board, please follow these care instructions:
1. **Hand Wash Only:** Gently hand wash your wooden board with a mild dish soap and lukewarm water. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or placing it in a dishwasher, as harsh detergents and high temperatures can damage the paint and wood finish.
2. **Pat Dry Immediately:** After washing, pat the board dry with a soft, clean cloth or paper towel. Avoid air-drying or prolonged exposure to moisture, as this can lead to warping and compromise the paint and wood quality.
3. **Avoid Soaking:** Never soak the hand-painted wooden board in water or leave it submerged, as extended exposure to moisture may cause the wood to swell and affect the integrity of the paint.
4. **Store Properly:** Store the board in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the board to prevent warping or bending.
5. **Use Caution with Sharp Objects:** While the board is crafted with durability in mind, exercise caution when using sharp knives or utensils. Avoid cutting directly on the painted surface to prevent scratches or damage to the artwork.
6. **Reapply Food-Safe Finish:** Over time, if you notice the board becoming dull or dry, you can reapply a thin layer of food-safe mineral oil or beeswax to restore its luster and protect the wood.
7. **Handle with Care:** Treat your hand-painted wooden board with care to preserve its unique design. Avoid dropping or banging it against hard surfaces, and handle it gently during use and cleaning.
By following these care instructions, you'll ensure that your hand-painted serving board remains a stunning and functional piece for years to come.
