Christmas was coming – and with it, the desire to give something more than a ‘trinket’ which gets set aside almost as quickly as it is opened.
With many hardwood remnants, and especially, some Holly wood I’d picked up a few months back, some cutting boards seemed like a natural. Yes, I have a natural aversion to putting sharp objects (knives) against silky-smooth cutting boards – small consolation I’m not the one with the knife doing the cutting :-0
Woods used in these pieces – cherry (hmmm, love the smell of cut cherry!), walnut, zebra wood, tiger maple, and some of the holly I mentioned earlier. While expensive, holly is a beautiful accent wood, nearly white, an exceptionally fine grain, uninterrupted by figure.
All around, beautiful pieces. You agree?
