Handmade cutting block

My son made this wonderful cutting block for me/us for Christmas.  He loves woodcrafting as a hobby and enjoys even more restoring vintage tools and machines.  I thought I had better take a pic since I'm already marking and scratching it up.  He used walnut, cherries and maples to do all the different designs on it.  The wood is turned a certain way so it doesn't dull my expensive knives.  I'm so proud of him....perhaps a little of my craftiness DID manage to get into his genes....haha

about 18x12 and 1 inch thick

    Cely that is beautiful! I know you must be so proud of your son. Maybe mine will mature one of these days LOL. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
    Happy New Year!

    You must be so proud! And you probably DID pass on some of your craftiness.

    Magnificently done, Cely! It reminds me so much of one my dad made for me more than 40 years ago, and I still have it. What a precious gift from your son. Happy New Year.
