Lovely Antique Pennsylvania Cutting Board with Mysterious Toned Shapes sinew finding something new in itI found this one in Pennsylvania, and though I don't know for sure, it seems to me it might have been tin quilting templates that sat on this cutting board for a very long time, leaving their silhouettes behind. Whatever the case, feels almost like a photogram, with a nice sense of mystery to it. And with the wooden board very well used before or since, with knife marks all over. Quite lovely and painterly feeling. 13 1 8" x 9 5 8" x 7 8". Knife marks
