Black Walnut & Padauk Serving Board – Live Edge Composition

Two natural live edges, a vivid stripe of Padauk, and an unexpected circular cutout give this Black Walnut composition a playful personality.

This handcrafted serving board brings together the rich, earthy tones of Black Walnut and the warm reddish-orange color of Padauk. A single stripe of Padauk runs through the center, introducing a clean line of contrast against the walnut's natural grain.

Live edges on both sides preserve the organic character of the wood, while a circular cutout positioned on the right adds an unexpected design element. The combination of natural contours, bold contrast, and asymmetry gives this board a sense of movement without feeling overly busy.

At 14 inches long, it's a versatile size for serving cheeses, charcuterie, appetizers, or a small gathering of favorite bites. Its distinctive composition also makes it a beautiful piece to display.
