today i came home from work to find that i had missed a package while i was traveling this week. turns out my cousin, who lives in honolulu, send me a wedding gift. a homemade wedding gift!
i opened the package to find this:
and opened further to find this:
conveniently placed next to my sea urchin salt & pepper shakers |
a handmade cutting board made with salvaged Jatoba wood from hawaii. the fact that he made this for us makes it so special.
and look - it even sits on 2 legs to make it raised while you’re cutting.
thank you so much micah!!
(while you’re at it, check out his etsy page - could make a great christmas present!)

That really is beautiful! Great job!! :))

ooo that is classy looking:)
what a cool gift. it's so pretty i wouldn't want to cut anything up on it.
I'm so jealous! I lived in Hawaii for four years and LOVE it there, that combined with the fact I need a new cutting board makes me hate you! haha
It's almost to beautiful to even use as intended! ;)
Wow, that's beautiful! He did great work!
beautiful! I would be afraid to use it, haha
Sustainable + handmade = awesome. Seriously Jacin, your lucky to have a family so talented (mom, bro, cousin, etc).
I'd be afraid to use it too. LOL
