Spec piece made from walnut sapwood and heartwood (allegedly) from the same tree.

Absolutely beautiful

I love the colour of that lighter wood

I would never be able to actually use this cutting board, I would just want to look at it

Thank you!

The lighter wood is walnut sapwood, often called blonde walnut. I also love the color.

Lol I've heard that before but I always try to encourage people to use them anyway. Things of beauty still yearn for purpose afterall.

I never understood why you'd have a "home" placard or "live, laugh, love" tacky shit. Like, do you need a reminder where you currently live? Do you need a reminder to have emotions?

They look so bad! Imagine you come to my house and I have "SHIT" engraved onto an enormous stone obelisk in my fucking bathroom...

Actually, never mind that sounds cool af
