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 drinks. Walnut is dense and tight grained, so it holds up to a knife without dulling your blade or beating up the board, and it won't soak up juice or bitters the way a lighter wood might. Small enough to stash in a cabinet, sturdy enough to actually use every time you're making drinks. Handmade in Taylors, South Carolina American black walnut 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 walnut, so grain and color will vary piece to piece. That's not a flaw, that's the wood doing its thing, and it means the one you get is one of a kind.
