Functional and Fabulous: Wooden Cutting Boards with Jonathon Marc Mendes

Who says functional can’t also be fabulous? 😍
This week, our dear friend Jonathon Marc Mendes of Painted Love is showing us just how beautiful practical projects can be with the most stunning DIY wooden cutting boards!
Jonathon crafted these gorgeous boards from scrap timber (yes, really!) and turned them into kitchen showpieces using chalk paint and IOD Paint Inlays.
You’ll want to catch his full tutorial on YouTube! Whether you’re a seasoned woodworker or a first-time DIY’er, Jonathon’s encouraging teaching style makes it all feel doable and absolutely rewarding.
So pull up a stool and get ready to turn humble scraps into handcrafted beauties. These would make darling gifts too, just saying! 😉
