My name is Nate, and I have bought too many things here. My first pair of quarks, my spotiva nepal's, carabiners, you name it. I wanted to do something productive during isolation, and decided to pair up my love for woodworking and climbing. I realized the community here would be a great resource, so I am reaching out here first. I am handcrafting hang boards out of cherry and they are incredibly beautiful (in my opinion!). The edges are 38 mm, 22 mm, and 15 mm, and the board is 24 inches long, 4 inches tall, and 2 inches deep. Holes are pre-drilled and countersunk (so screws sit below surface). The price of the board is 55 dollars before shipping, including screws. I will ship to anywhere in the continental United States, and it will likely cost around 10-15 dollars.



100 percent of the proceeds will go to The Helping COVID Heroes Fund (Can provide donation receipt, will likely be ~40 dollars donated per sale. If you feel so inclined feel free to pay more and any extra will be donated as well).

*Running low on cherry, will be producing dual-tone boards from cherry and black walnut! They are absolutely stunning, I have added a photo below. We have raised over 320 dollars so far! Will post another donation update tomorrow, trying to donate large sums because there is a credit card fee of 4.00 dollars per donation!*



*2nd Update* So grateful that all of you guys let a college student from Ohio make you some beautiful boards to get strong on. We have raised over 400 dollars! I will be taking a pause this week, I have my final exams. I will be starting back up on May 3rd. I can still take orders, but understand there will be a delay. Thank you for your patience!*



*Final Update* I created a shopify page, check it out if you want to learn more about the process of creating a hangboard or want one for yourself!*

Since the edges are the same size all the way across, it seems to me you could trim 8-10 inches off of this thing and reduce your materials and shipping costs.

Hey JD, If you look at other comparable boards, like the Metolius prime rib, they are usually on the longer side. I made a couple different sizes, and I just liked the longer one because you could introduce holds at a wider stance.. if that makes any sense!

Also, the boards look beautiful, but have you thought about a larger radius on some of the holds? At least for me anything that sharp would dig into the joint on heavier hangs.

Hi Mike, I think the profile photo is a little deceiving, they are very rounded. Let me take a couple more photos for you! I will add them to the post.

I realize this is a sale item but because it’s for a good cause it may be acceptable. I know personally I don’t include the for sale items when I look at the latest posts, I assume others are the same.

Nate Williams · Joined May 2019 · Points: 0 May 5, 2020 · Loveland, OH encoding='utf-8' ? Wow everyone... amazed by the support. I have created a shopify page to keep track of orders and try and smooth up the ordering process for y'all. I think I have around 20 left to sell!



Here is the page if you are interested in the process of creating a board, or want one for yourself!
