What People Are Saying

Dan and team have been exceptional. They have been made several unique gifts and keepsakes over the years. Would highly recommend both for the quality and level of professionalism they offer.

Set of three pens with purple swirling patterns and silver accents, one standing in a black pen holder and two laying flat on a dark gray surface.

Working with Bark and Boards was such a wonderful experience. The charcuterie board and pen were beautifully made, thoughtful, and truly special. You can see the care and craftsmanship that goes into your work, and it made the piece feel both personal and high quality. I was so pleased with the final result and would absolutely recommend Bark and Boards to anyone looking for something unique and beautifully done.

I had followed Bark & Boards for some time before deciding to order a fountain pen, and I could not be more pleased. The craftsmanship is exceptional, the materials are stunning, and the pen writes beautifully. Danny was a pleasure to work with, took a genuine interest in my preferences, and created a piece that is both functional and one of a kind. As someone who uses fountain pens daily, I can say this pen has easily become my daily writer. It is a true functional work of art, and I highly recommend Bark & Boards.
