Bitterroot Belle
Born and raised in the Bitterroot Valley, I have always been in love with nature and art. My dad taught me the value of hard work and to always create something that I could be proud of. Bitterroot Belle was an idea that started in 2014 when I made some homemade gifts for friends and family for Christmas. What began as a way to save a few dollars at the holidays expanded to a few crafts on my coffee table, then a few more, and a few more. Today I produce high-quality, handmade gifts for you and your loved ones to enjoy. Everything is made by hand, by me, and I know you will love it as much as I do.

Cutting Boards
All of my beautiful cutting boards are hand-crafted solid wood. They are constructed from quality materials, and not only will they look great in your kitchen - they will hold up to daily use. Wood species used varies by board including African mahogany, cherry, hickory, and others. Each is oiled with high-quality food safe mineral oil and beeswax.
All Natural Board Butter
Oiled wood not only looks beautiful, but its surface can be restored by applying new coats of protecive oil. My homemade board butter is just what you need to keep your board beautiful and the wood properly conditioned. Made with natural beeswax and mineral oil, it doesn't contain any artificial scents or dyes and is food safe and hypoallergenic.
