This one's built for the bar cart. The compact size makes it easy to keep close while you're muddling mint, slicing citrus, or breaking down garnishes for a round of old fashioneds. Cherry is a little softer than walnut but still holds up well to regular knife work, and it's known for deepening in color over time, so the board you get today will look even richer a year from now. The rounded edges make it comfortable to hold and easy to pick up one handed, even when you're moving fast behind the bar. Small enough to stash in a cabinet, sturdy enough to actually use every time you're making drinks. Handmade in Taylors, South Carolina American cherry hardwood Mineral oil finished and food safe Rounded edges for comfortable, safe handling Refresh with mineral oil or board butter as needed Board size - 12" x 7" x .75" Keep it out of the dishwasher. Soap, water, and a quick dry after each use is really all it needs. Every board is cut from real American cherry, so grain and color will vary piece to piece, and will continue to warm up with age and light exposure. That's not a flaw, that's the wood doing its thing, and it means the one you get is one of a kind.
