This is a 12" diameter edge grain wooden cutting board made from Black Cherry. Small pieces of Cherry are cut to random lengths and glued end-to-end to make strips. The strips are then glued together into a cutting board. No two boards are alike.
An edge grain board means the individual boards are oriented so the cutting surface is the edge of the boards. retailer This results in a more durable cutting board than if the wood pieces were oriented with the face or flat side facing up.
The board measures 7/8" thick x 12" diameter. Total length including the handle is 13.5" long.
I use a waterproof glue (not water resistant) that is FDA approved for indirect food contact (ie: cutting boards). Finished with my 2-step finishing protocol consisting of an initial soak in a tub filled with a commercial "100% Plant-based Butcher Block & Cutting Board Oil made exclusively from renewable ingredients. A natural alternative to petroleum based mineral oil commonly used for cutting boards & butcher blocks". After the first coat has dried for several days I then apply a coat of Danish Oil which provides an even more durable and longer lasting finish.
Care instructions are included.
