Hi
I'm making a chopping board for my friend as a wedding gift.
I'm using walnut. I was going to mix some oak in with it but I'm now thinking I might just go pure walnut.
Looking for some advice.
Here it is so far:
I'm cutting up an old desk, so it has a noticeable join where two boards have been joined previously.
Should I just leave this?
Should I chop it up so I can disguise the change in colour better?
