Composition Board #437 – Ambrosia Maple, Walnut & White Oak Round

Three woods, one simple circle, and plenty of natural variation from the Ambrosia Maple.

Composition Board #437 brings together Ambrosia Maple, Walnut, and White Oak in a compact round serving board built around the contrast between three distinctly different woods.

The lighter Maple and White Oak sit against the deeper tones of Walnut, while the Ambrosia Maple brings its own natural streaking and color variation into the composition.

Rather than adding a handle, Frank kept the board's 10-inch circular shape intact and added a simple circular hole near the edge. It's a small functional detail that becomes part of the design without interrupting the overall shape.

At 10 inches in diameter, #437 is an easy size for serving cheese, fruit, bread, appetizers, or a small charcuterie arrangement—and compact enough to leave out when it's not being used.

What Makes This Board Different

This composition starts with the shape.

A simple circle gives the three woods a defined boundary, letting the changes in color and grain create the movement within it.

Ambrosia Maple contributes natural streaking and variation. Walnut brings in deeper color. White Oak adds another lighter wood, but with grain and character distinctly its own.

Then Frank added one small circle within the larger one—the hole near the edge.

It's a simple shape made more interesting by what's happening inside it.

Three woods. Three different grains. A compact round form that lets the composition take center stage.

The contrast happens in the wood. The personality comes from what Frank does with it.

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.
