Not only are cutting boards used when one needs to chop up some fruit or veggies, but they can be put on display to add a bit of character and style to the kitchen itself. These essential cooking tools are made from reclaimed and leftover materials. Maple is the lighter wood, at times accented with jatoba. The end-grain boards are made from scraps of meranti. Simple and fun to make, these are great gifts that can be enjoyed for many years.
