Carving Board
This carving board belonged to my Grandfather (we called him Chris). Chris was the second husband to my Grandmother Phyllis. I remember when I was young, pre-teen, having holidays at Phyllis and Chris’s home in the Greenwood district of Seattle. That was the early 60’s.
It was a beautiful home with a walk-up mother-in-law apartment on the top floor. Phyllis and Chris lived in the mother-in-law and they rented the lower portion of the home. The house still stands today and looks as good as it did when Grandma and Grandpa lived there.
I don’t know the back story on the cutting board. It is possible Chris made the wood portion, he was a talented woodworker. The two Long Horn cattle heads are castings that Chris likely had made for the board. The board was passed down to my father, Jack, when Chris passed away. I now have the cutting board. My goal is for it to continue to remain in the family.
