The wood used in this cutting board, starting from the center piece going to the end:
Center- Zebrawood (Africa), Purple Heart (Latin America), Paduak (Africa), Ambrosia Maple (North America), Purple Heart (Latin America), Zebrawood (Africa), Paduak (Africa), and Ambrosia Maple (North America) for the end pieces. I use the center piece as a focal point offers and then I match contrasting colors, or eye catching colors, matching outward and finish it off with pieces of Ambrosia Maple that has lots of contrasting grain/depth in it.
I have finished the cutting board with mineral oil/butchers block oil.
Most of the cutting boards I have made are said to be too pretty to be used But I made these two to be used as a cutting board. You can still use them as a serving tray or as a decorative piece in your kitchen if you choose to.
Measurements of this cutting board: 13 1/4 x 12 1/4 x 1 3/8.
Cleaning/care instructions will ship with the board.
Ask me about custom sizes or shapes I can work with you on those.
