Tempting, although wouldn’t that mean a lot of groves that are difficult to clean out and also the darker lines are achieved with a build up of wax in them.
The straight lines lost some of their wax, maybe it wasn’t dry enough yet when rubbing it and also I think I should try using a cloth wrapped around a sanding block next time instead of a wad of kitchen roll. But this is initial experimenting so far on free wood that I have. Need to find some more, most of what I have is split fence posts which aren’t great and it all needs heavy sanding from years of being exposed to the elements. Still, its free.
Coasters and placemats is my thinking, they shouldn’t get as much direct food contact. A lot of wood boards I see that I could buy do seen quite thick for that kind of use case though. 1-2cm is quite thick, but the only thinner options I see are plywood, which could work but isn’t the same.
Maybe chonky coasters could look nice though. Even add a texture to the sides of it?
I drew on some wood a few weeks ago. Need to find some more wood scraps to try some more.
I want this on a cutting board!!
