This board has it all, which can be used as a combination cutting and serving board. The width, at 14”, is 2 ½” wider than the signature large size cutting board and also includes decorative curved ends to enhance the appeal as a serving board. Only Hardwoods with a Food Safe, closed cell structure are used. The primary hardwood used in this board is Walnut, whereby Hard Maple, Cherry and Paduk are used for accent. All Hardwoods are cut into strips, turned on edge and Glued together(glue is food grade & water proof) whereby the Edge Grain of the individual PC’s are making up the top and bottom surface of the cutting board. This process provides for a very stable Board, whereby warping is greatly diminished. In addition, an “Edge Grain” cutting board is easier on the cutting edge of knives, as compared to “face Grain” Boards. There are NO stains used in this Cutting board, the colors are strictly that of the individual wood species. The finish includes a Food Grade Mineral Oil Bath, followed by a Wood Balm “Rub”, made of Mineral Oil and Beeswax.
