9.2. Tex Mex Cutting Board 1248

🪵 This cutting and serving board pairs a warm walnut-toned body with a striking inlaid stripe of contrasting woods and a handle cut in the shape of a branching antler. It brings a rustic, handcrafted look to a kitchen counter or table setting.
ABOUT THIS PIECE
The board's rounded-corner body is made from a rich walnut-brown wood, crossed by a decorative band made of light maple, a deep purple-toned hardwood, and another strip of maple, giving the surface a bold stripe of color against the darker grain. A carved juice groove follows the inner edge, and the antler-shaped cut-out at one end doubles as a handle.
WHERE TO DISPLAY IT
It works well as a serving board for cheese, charcuterie, or bread on a dining table, and the antler handle makes it easy to hang from a hook between uses. It also suits a kitchen counter as a standalone decorative accent leaning against a backsplash.
CARE AND HANDLING
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry immediately rather than letting it air-dry. Avoid soaking it or running it through the dishwasher, and periodically treat the wood with a food-safe oil to keep the grain looking rich and prevent drying or cracking.
