Walnut Leaf Kitchen Board with Maple Woven Vein

The weave isn't just decoration. It becomes the vein of the leaf.

Our leaf boards don't follow one standard shape. Each one develops a little differently depending on the wood and the composition I have in mind.

For this version, I started with Walnut and created a thin Maple weave through the board, using that lighter wood to suggest the central vein running through a leaf.

The contrast is simple—dark Walnut against light Maple—but the weave gives the board a detail that rewards a closer look.

At 1.2 inches thick and 2.9 pounds, this isn't just a decorative piece. It's a substantial everyday kitchen board made for cutting and prep, with a shape distinctive enough to bring straight to the table for serving.

What Makes This Board Different

I use weaves in a number of my composition boards, but here the weave has a specific job.

The lighter Maple runs through the Walnut like the vein of a leaf, making the construction itself part of the image.

It's still unmistakably a wood cutting board. But the closer you look, the more the details reinforce the shape.

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.

A small tin of our Chefdude Board Butter is included with every board. Apply periodically to help condition and maintain the wood.
