This one's built to be the centerpiece. At this size it handles serious prep work with room to spare, breaking down a whole chicken, portioning a big cut of meat, or laying out a full cutting station without crowding. Walnut is dense and tight grained, so it holds up well to regular knife work, and it's got that deep, rich brown tone that only gets better with age. Cut from a single solid piece with no glue seams, the grain runs continuous edge to edge, which is what gives it that showpiece look. Just as at home loaded up with cheese, meat, and crackers for a table spread as it is handling everyday prep. Handmade in Taylors, South Carolina American black walnut hardwood Cut from a single solid piece, no glue seams Mineral oil finished and food safe Rounded edges for comfortable, safe handling Refresh with mineral oil or board butter as needed Board size - 16" x 10.5" x 1.25" 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.
