Spec piece made from walnut sapwood and heartwood (allegedly) from the same tree.
Another photo showing off the grain.

Thanks!
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
You alright bud?
Sometimes.
Thats an idea
My partner and I both feel the same.
That being said, my old co-working space had a sign in the bathroom: "Get SHIT done." I chuckled.
I mean... different strokes for different folks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Where are the walnuts being chopped on the walnut chopping board for this meme?
