Painted with wooden cutting board
How about turning the old wooden cutting board into a painting to hang in the kitchen or in another room of the house? You can customize it with your favorite subjects by painting them with acrylic paints, which are quite opaque.
We recommend that you first draw the chosen subject on a sheet of paper and then reproduce it on the cutting board. This way you don't risk making mistakes.
You can focus on classic or more experimental subjects, depending on your tastes.
