The natural patterns of the wood's grains create amazing designs in these end-grain butcher block surfaces. Unlike on traditional long-grain cutting boards, the knife cuts amongst the ends of the wood fibers, rather than through them. This has two effects: a much longer life of the sharp edge on your knife and less cut marks on the board itself.Custom made to order boards can be personalized with an engraving or brass inlay on the side.Size small: 9" x 15" x 1.5" in WALNUTFinished with all natural beeswax and mineral oil
