Tequila Shot Flight Board — Ambrosia Maple or Hickory

Description

A tequila flight board built for the full ritual — four shot wells, a dedicated lime well, a salt well, all routed into a single piece of hardwood. Pour the four. Lime in the corner, salt on the other. The whole presentation lives in one piece.

First, the build. I cut every tequila flight board from straight-grain hardwood, then route the wells so the shot glasses sit flush without rocking. As a result, the board carries clean from kitchen to bar to patio without spilling. Because the same board works for whiskey flights, mezcal flights, or anything that pours in twos and fours, this is a piece that earns its keep beyond just one liquor.

What makes a tequila flight board different

Most flight boards are unfinished, knot-pitted softwoods picked up at a craft store. Meanwhile, this one is hand-finished hardwood with food-safe oil — built to sit on a bar for years rather than break after a season. Most importantly, the lime and salt wells turn the flight into a complete presentation. Three shots in, the host doesn’t need to explain anything; the board does.

Choose your wood

Ambrosia maple carries the wild-card grain. So if the kitchen leans rustic, the streaked grey-and-amber figure reads like the cabin in a board. Hickory runs tighter and denser — the wood that builds tool handles and baseball bats. Either way, both species are hand-finished with food-safe oil and ship with a care card.

Care, custom work, and shipping

First, wipe clean after use. Second, never soak the board or run it through the dishwasher. Finally, re-oil with a food-safe finish every few months. Other woods cut on request: walnut, cherry, padauk. Ships from Virden, Manitoba via Canada Post with tracking, typically arriving in 1–2 weeks across Canada and 2–3 weeks to the US.
