Burl & Plank: London Ontario Shops
Burl & Plank creates beautiful charcuterie boards, coat racks, beer flight paddles, and unique wedding guestbook alternatives. We personally love their charcuterie boards to give as a wedding gift because you can have a name added to the board. What we love most about these boards is that the name can be done in a really subtle way that doesn’t take away from the beauty of the wood. They also have the option of adding a full message or letter in someone’s handwriting. This would make a really beautiful memorial gift.
