Inlayed Cutting Board - "Lonely Old Tree"- Handcrafted

I call this Board “Lonely Old Tree” after a very old and unfortunately long dead Eucalypt Tree that is still standing in the corner of a paddock up near Daylesford. I got to thinking about all the history that it has seen. 

Amazing to think it most likely saw the start of people walking to Gold Rush areas, bullock wagons, early cars and all the ensuring development of our modern world, but through it all the “Lonely Old Tree” stood watching  

Proudly Designed and Handcrafted in our small Bonbeach workshop.

The Board has been surfaced and fine sanded, then completed with two coats of quality Fiddes Hard Wax Oil, a Food Safe Finish.

Please note: Each Bonnie Timber Board is a one of a kind. Wood is a natural material and may have knots or grain variations that are not depicted. These variances should not be viewed as imperfections, but as characters that make each piece unique.
