Crows & cherry cutting board

One of my favorite pieces!  I actually kept this one for myself and it's still hanging in my kitchen.  2 crows and a cherry hand painted by me on a functional cutting board.  First time I used "weathered wood" to create the crackle look.  Won 2nd place in the folk art catagory at the 2006 Ohio State Fair's arts and crafts competition.
