I had this vision in my head of a thick slab of wood with a lot of character that could become a focal point on a table. Over the weekend I created a few of my own wood cutting boards out of a slab found at a local salvage yard. Here’s a look at the trio of wood cutting boards I designed: Chalkboard Mug.
