This delicious platter is paired with wine.

"Friends are therapists you can drink with."
One of my favorite things in the world to do is eat good food and drink good wine with my friends.
My friends love to come over and nibble on a bunch of different foods instead of eating one dish.
So when they come over, we are typically opening a bottle of wine and I am putting out a bunch of different cheeses, meats, and homemade dips.
Then I thought to myself, wouldn't it be cool to make antipasto table runner for all of my friends to gather at the table around?
I went to Home Depot and picked out a nice sized piece of wood that wasn't too thick or thin.
I sanded it down and treated it. Super easy!!!
You can also go to a local lumber store and they can cut it to the exact size you want.

Impress your friends and guests with this beautiful display of your favorite Antipasto foods as it runs down the center of your table on your homemade board. In addition, here are the steps to make the the antipasto board:
Visit your local lumber store for a piece of wood that would best fit the size of your table. You do not want it too thick or thin. You want it to be the right length to run down the center of your table with easy access to any dining chair seat.
Completely sand the entire board with on all sides and edges with a 220 grit sanding pad.
Arranging your antipasto platter should be fun! Here are some easy tips for successfully arranging your antipasto platter:
Plate food in big groupings such as putting all your meats together, all your pickles together, and all your cheeses together.
You can also spread your food out in small plates and scatter throughout the board. I like to do this so that everyone has access to all the dishes no matter where they sit. I break up the small plates, meats, cheese, etc and scatter them in small dishes or directly on the board all throughout until it is completely filled. I think this makes the board not only beautiful but more interesting.
Another suggestion is having a few big platters of bigger items on the board that is easy to pick up and pass around. Then mix in the small bites and dishes in between all the empty spaces of the big plates. I do this when I have heavier foods such as meatballs, or my Greek lemon potatoes.

I am sorry. I don't know of an actual food-safe stain to be used on this board.

I would like to make a board in dark color. Is there way to safely stain it? Also, I have a challenge with the cheese drying out. Thanks
