Function and Quality,
plus Real butcher block construction.
As a tree grows it develops heartwood and sapwood, the
sapwood is, in almost in all species, very light in color
and the heartwood much darker. For market purposes the
heartwood is the wood which defines the look of that species.
The sapwood having little color and figuring is, sadly, often
discarded. The Vermont Bowl Company and John McLeod Ltd. have
found that there's a wonderful contrast between heart and sap woods which
can give rise to beautiful effects. Therefore, they have
sought out specially sawn planks of
American Black Walnut with both heart and sap wood with
which to make a striking and super functional carving
wooden cutting board. Fashioned with end grain construction
and deep juice grooves, the board also has a jumbo catch well.
It is a large cutting board measuring 21” x 15” x 1-1/2” thick.
Don't forget to use both sides of this heirloom board.
To care for this board simply wash in warm soapy water,
thoroughly dry, and an occasional rub of corn oil will give
generations of service. And of course,
Made in Vermont.
