Composition Board #430 – Ambrosia Maple, White Oak & Walnut Boule Board

Four woods brought together in one compact composition.

Composition Board #430 combines Ambrosia Maple, White Oak, Walnut, and Peruvian Walnut, giving each species a place in a board built around natural color, grain, and contrast.

The character of the Ambrosia Maple plays against the lighter White Oak, while Walnut and Peruvian Walnut bring deeper tones into the composition. Instead of asking four different woods to look alike, Frank designed this board around what makes them different.

At 10" x 14", #430 is sized as a small boule board—an easy surface for slicing and serving a round loaf without bringing out a much larger board. It also works beautifully for cheese, fruit, appetizers, or a smaller charcuterie spread.

What Makes This Board Different

Four species means four different voices in the same piece.

Ambrosia Maple brings its naturally distinctive character. White Oak adds a lighter counterpoint. Walnut and Peruvian Walnut introduce deeper tones and their own variations in grain.

The composition comes from deciding how those differences should work together—not disguising them.

That's the idea behind a Chefdude composition board: choosing woods that can stand on their own, then putting them together in a way that makes each one more interesting.

Made to be used. Made to be seen. Made with the wood as the starting point.

Care

Hand wash only with mild soap and warm water. Do not soak or place in the dishwasher. Dry promptly and allow the board to dry completely before storing. Periodic conditioning with a food-safe board oil will help maintain the wood.
