A walnut cutting board engraved with a kitchen utensil design and your own wording, made in four sizes. Drawn tools around the text, on the darkest wood we engrave.
Utensils are drawn as outlines: the handle of a whisk, the bowl of a spoon, the edge of a knife. Outline work engraved into a pale wood goes faint and the objects stop being identifiable. Walnut gives the most contrast of any timber here, so each tool stays recognisable rather than becoming decoration.
Boards that are used collect marks, stains and the shadows of whatever was cut on them. A dark wood absorbs all of that visually where a pale one records it. For a design that announces the board is for working rather than hanging, walnut is the finish that ages best.
Boards that get used collect marks: knife lines, grease shadows, the dark ring where something wet was left standing. On a pale surface every one of those is visible. Walnut is already close to chocolate brown, so the same marks barely register, and a board in regular use keeps looking presentable years after a bamboo one has started to look its age.
That is the quiet half of what the most expensive of our four woods is buying. The loud half is contrast: the outline drawings in this design stay recognisable as spoons, whisks and knives rather than fading into the surface, which is what happens to outline work engraved into a pale wood. On this design the contrast is doing real work rather than decorating.
Four sizes are made. The larger two are nearly twice as thick. Walnut sits between cherry and acacia for weight, which is a reasonable compromise on a board that will be carried about.
For genuine chopping take the large at minimum. The smaller two are serving boards rather than working ones, whatever they are bought for. Oil it occasionally if it is used daily, since a working board dries out faster than one kept on a wall. The same design is engraved in bamboo, which is the cheapest and most anonymous of the woods, and in cherry, which is the lightest of the hardwoods and the easiest to handle one-handed.
Wash by hand, then dry it at once. Keep it out of the dishwasher and never leave it to soak. Mineral oil keeps it from drying out.
