Because we use solid wood for our cutting boards, we have to work around imperfections as much as possible. We do our best, but it isn't always possible to completely avoid mineral streaks, small voids and other wood idiosyncrasies. To dismiss a board that has just a few of these imperfections would be incredibly wasteful and not in line with our value to be as sustainable as we can. In this case, there aren't mineral streaks inherent to most Maple. Walnut doesn't really have mineral streaks. Rather this board has either a larger void or multiple small voids that were filled with wood filler. There is nothing structurally wrong with it, but we aim to sell boards with a minimum amount of streaking or voids at the premium price.

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.

Know your wood

Three domestic hardwoods, chosen for the job

Hardness is measured on the Janka scale: the force needed to press a steel ball halfway into the wood. Hard enough to last, gentle enough on your knives.

Janka hardness of the woods The Boardsmith uses
WoodJanka hardnessCharacter
Hard Maple 1450 lbf The hardest of our woods. Very small pores help keep moisture and food out.
Black WalnutThis board 1010 lbf Rich, dark brown heartwood. Like all three, durable and kind to knife edges.
Black Cherry 950 lbf Our softest wood, still hard and durable. Darkens from pinkish brown to a deep reddish brown with light.
