An ambitious Prototyped End grain Cutting Board is this beautifully crafted cutting board using two premium wood selections. This piece was at the centre of our Art display at Vancouver's East Side Culture Crawl this year and was a showcase piece for the chopping boards we make.
The English walnut comes to us from a local Sawyer Eager Beaver Wood Works (Maple Ridge) and was milled down from a log from the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. The English Walnut gives us some beautiful Growth rings that flow left to right.
Wenge is an exotic hard word that is imported in from central Africa. Wenge offers a beautiful face grain with gold flecks with a nearly black tone. The tight concentric circles indicates growth rings and the gold flecks become dark as oiled.
These two pieces combined give a beautiful colour contrast for an even more unique as the work pieces are cut as a bevel and eventually flipped to their side offering a chevron pattern that is repeatable through the width of the board.
Only one of these boards has been made however commissions can be placed for a similar board to be made allowing for 4 weeks for it's production.
