High Point to Frisco
John Loftis founded The Boardsmith in High Point, North Carolina in 2005. He picked up woodworking in high school shop classes in the 1980s. The business now runs from a 7,500 square foot shop in Frisco, Texas, with eight full-time employees. Loftis's wife Jennie handles the accounting and their three children help with shipping and shop work.
The shop uses three woods: hard maple, black cherry and black walnut, bought at FAS grade from mills the company says follow FSC sustainable forestry practices. Boards are glued with Titebond III and finished with mineral oil and beeswax.
Boards, oil, butter and feet
The butcher block and end grain cutting boards are cut and assembled in the Frisco shop. The board oil and board butter are hand-poured and packed on site in Frisco, using fractionated coconut oil and beeswax the company says comes from a beekeeper in Ohio. The wooden board feet, sold with stainless steel screws, are listed as handmade in the USA.
