Found in a small village outside Lyon, this antique French cutting board was hand-carved from a single thick piece of wood, a full round with a short handle rising from the top. Boards shaped like this lived in the kitchens of the Lyonnais countryside, used for everything that needed a flat surface, from bread to onions to whatever came in from the garden. The face is scored in every direction from a lifetime of knife work, the wood gone a deep weathered brown with the grain split open along one edge. Sylvie leans it against the wall behind a bowl of garlic, or lays it flat with a round of cheese and a small knife on top.
