Dead Horse Ranch Woodworking

Dead Horse Ranch Woodworking My name is Wesley Mertz, and this is Dead Horse Ranch Woodworking! As I get the ball rolling I am focused on building cutting boards.

These boards are built to endure the use and abuse of your home kitchen while lookin gorgeous on your counter!

Okay what are your thoughts? Be brutally honest! I am working on this very weird board. Started out trying to not be wasteful and cutting too much off to square it up. Here we are with a rather “derpy” Utah board. Jessica had her say in the shape, and I started a hand carved “live edge”. I have a lot more work to do, but I’ll post the finished product!

Another one done! This might be my favorite so far!

I’ve got quite a bit going in the shop right now! 9 boards in total are in the works! I will keep posting updates on finished products. These are all for orders and I haven’t yet built up inventory. If you’re interested in a board feel free to message me to talk options and pricing!

Shoutout to my hot wife for the free labor and assistance! 😂

Board #0004! I’m messing around with some pigmentation to get a more “rustic” look. I’ll be keeping this one to see how it lasts!
