Joe's Big 60th

My good friend Joe is turning 60 this week. He's having a big bash this Saturday at the newly revamped TWA terminal at JFK airport. Obviously I wanted to bring a gift but being so strapped for cash I decided a handmade one would be appropriate. I find that people cherish handmade gifts more anyway. Besides, they're fun projects for me to do.
I decided that a cutting board/cheese board would make a good gift, especially when I envisioned what it would look like.
I thought the letters of his name would work well in one of my favorite fonts of all time, "Baby Teeth" by designer Milton Glaser from 1964.

I painted the sides in a color that I think will work well in his city kitchen. And I did modify the "E" so it would give more cutting service than Glaser's "E", otherwise I think it turned out well. I hope he likes it.
