1. What types of wood are used in the products?

At Resinating Rivers, we take pride in using a variety of high-quality, sustainably-sourced woods for our handcrafted products. Depending on the specific item and design, we might use woods such as walnut, cherry, maple, oak, or mahogany. Each type of wood is carefully selected to enhance the natural beauty of the product and complement the epoxy detailing. If you have a specific preference or requirement for the type of wood, please feel free to reach out to us, and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs.

2. Is the epoxy used in the products eco-friendly or food-safe?

Absolutely! The epoxy we use in our products at Resinating Rivers is specially formulated to be both eco-friendly and food-safe. We understand the importance of both sustainability and safety, particularly in items that may come into contact with food, such as charcuterie boards. However, it is important to note that while epoxy is 100% food safe for contact, it is toxic if ingested, so we want to emphasize that you should NEVER use epoxy as a cutting surface. Our epoxy is carefully sourced from reputable suppliers who comply with stringent regulations to ensure that it's non-toxic and suitable for various applications. If you have any specific concerns or need more detailed information about the epoxy used in a particular product, please don't hesitate to contact us.

3. Can I request a custom design for a charcuterie board or other items?

Certainly! At Resinating Rivers, we love working with our customers to create custom designs that match their unique tastes and needs. Whether you want a specific shape, wood type, or a personalized epoxy color or pattern for a charcuterie board or any other item, we can make it happen. Simply reach out to us through our contact form here, and we'll discuss your ideas, requirements, and the process for creating your custom piece. Please keep in mind that custom orders may require additional time to create and may be priced differently based on the complexity and materials used. We look forward to collaborating with you on a one-of-a-kind creation!

4. What are the shipping costs and delivery timeframes?

Shipping costs at Resinating Rivers vary based on the destination and weight of the package.
