Curator's Notes
Beautifully crafted from solid walnut wood, Kakudo boards can be used as a cutting board, serving tray or even as a plate. Each board has a ½” groove to catch run-offs and an elevated base.The large board is particularly generous and can easily go from kitchen preparations to table presentation.
