Composition 348: Block of Walnut, Spalted White Oak, Padauk and Cherry

Some boards begin with a single piece of wood.

Others begin with contrast.

This composition board brings together spalted white oak, cherry, padauk, and walnut—four woods with distinct colors, grain patterns, and personalities. The result is a piece that feels balanced, warm, and full of visual interest without overwhelming the table.

Whether it's holding a simple loaf of bread, a spread of cheeses, or the ingredients for a meal shared with family and friends, this board was made to be used and enjoyed.

After 40 years in professional kitchens, I've come to believe that some of life's best moments happen around a table. Every board I make is designed with those moments in mind.
