Occasionally we have a pretty board that has a few more voids or mineral streaks than we'd like to see on what we consider our premium boards. As we know from Wisdom Behind the Wood, almost all Maple has mineral streaks. It is the nature of Maple. We try to minimize them when we can, but they don't affect quality, form or function. But we give them a little discount because they might not match everyone's personal aesthetic preference.
This one just had a larger void we needed to fill. We felt like even though it is a pretty board, we need to give it a small discount.
Feet will NOT come standard on this board, but if you order a set we will be happy to install them for you.
You can also order finger grooves, a juice groove and/or engraving at checkout.
Maple cutting boards need a lot of oil, so please don't forget to add a care kit! All cutting boards need to be oiled to full saturation, but especially maple!
