Default cutting board with edelweiss

A very simple work to decorate a cutting board.
The wood is elm: not very good to carve, but fantastic grain. The finish is raw linseed oil.

That is a beautiful piece. I would hang it on the wall but I could never chop food on it.

Pretty carving, on a very pretty board.
I didn't know that is what edelweiss looked like!

Very nicely done. The grain sets off the carving beautifully.

This is exactly my intent. Anyway the wood is not suitable to choop food.
