Made in the Middle

MITM opens the door. Boards close the deal. Made in the Middle is our documentary series — hosted by Tim Gauntt, shot Vice-meets-Bourdain — telling the story of the makers and kitchens of the Midwest. The board is always in context, never forced.

Design & packaging

Designed, boxed, ready to gift

We don't just cut a board — we design the whole piece and the box it arrives in. Every partner board is engraved in-house and packed retail-ready, so it lands like a product, not a shipment.

  • In-house design & engraving — your logo, art or signature
  • Custom, co-branded packaging (Man Haul, Dallas Mavericks & more)
  • Gift-ready or retail-ready — your choice
