I used a board that is 12-inches long (not including the length of the handle). This will feed about 6 people, assuming that it is only part of the offerings at your get-together. For more people, use a larger board. For an extensive spread, you can draw the outline of a tree on butcher paper and fill it in with your favorite charcuterie items, separating rows with sprigs of rosemary to create ‘tree branches’.
