Meg and I have both been living with a mostly capsule wardrobe (defined here if you are new to the idea) for a couple years now but I wanted to try out a more extreme version during our travels abroad this Summer.

Similar to our All Aboard Recycled cutting boards are these new whale-inspired cheese boards made out of completely recycled mahogany decking, that has been cut down, oiled and rounded by every member of the family to bring out its true colors which happen to be the perfect contrast to an oak plug eye.
