Adrian Selby grew up between Germany and Vancouver, BC — a creative kid with a deep love for design, detail, and making things by hand. His thoughtful, artistic approach continues to shape everything he creates as a craftsman.

Today, Adrian channels his passion into designing and building functional works of art! You will find him at Out of Hand this year showcasing his fine woodworking, one-of-a-kind end-grain cutting boards, for the chef in your life! 

End-grain boards are a true craftsman’s piece — made by joining blocks of wood so that the grain runs vertically, exposing the natural patterns at the heart of the tree. This orientation not only brings out striking visual depth but also makes the surface more durable and gentle on knives. Each board Adrian creates is a unique blend of beauty, function, and longevity — a work of art meant to be used and loved for years.
