Awesome. Same artist again, last one for now. Sorry, I'm geeking out over his stuff.

It is curiously appropriate that this Pac-Man cutting board is made in the tough, end-grain style. These boards are fashioned from wooden strips glued together with their grain running parallel, and the board itself is a cross-section cut from this master block.
This gives a great pixellated 8-bit style to the picture of Pac-Man, Blinky (or Clyde) and the power-pill in between them. End-grain boards are also self healing (like Pac-Man, kinda) as your knife doesn't cut the wood fibers but gently pushes them aside with every stroke, like the bristles of a brush. This keeps your knife sharper, longer – not really Pac-Man related, but still cool.
These particular boards are made by Etsy seller 1337motif, and are built from blocks of "walnut, hard-maple, and cherry put together with FDA approved, water-proof glue, and treated with a mixture of mineral oil and beeswax." An a-maze-ing rendering of the cutting-edge 1980 arcade game. Waka-waka-waka! $165.
