Reversible walnut, cherry, and maple cutting board
- Wood combination: Strips of rich, dark walnut; warm, reddish cherry; and pale, hard maple are laminated together in an alternating pattern, creating a stunning, striped design.
- Reversible: Both sides are flat, providing two identical cutting surfaces. The board can be flipped to extend its life and prevent cross‑contamination between tasks.
- Edge grain: The wood is arranged in edge grain, which is strong, durable, and shows off the beauty of the contrasting timbers.
- Care: Hand wash only. Oil frequently with a blend of mineral oil and beeswax to protect the wood and bring out the colours.
This board is a piece of functional art. The trio of walnut, cherry, and maple is a classic American combination, each wood contributing its own colour and character. The board is substantial and heavy, making it a pleasure to use. It is suitable for all cutting tasks, from mincing herbs to slicing bread. The edge grain is more resistant to warping than flat grain. The board should be dried upright to allow air circulation. It is a beautiful gift for a home cook or a wedding present, something that will be used daily and treasured for decades.
