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. 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.

This board already comes equipped with Finger Grooves. A Juice Groove and/or engraving are also available for a small fee.

Feet will NOT come standard on this board, but if you order a set we will be happy to install them for you.

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
Wood	Janka hardness	Character
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.
