Product Overview
Note: Remember, you need a natural finish for your cutting board. They come unfinished to allow customers to use their preferred natural finish from reputable companies or ours. But unfortunately we don't support any issues you may have using finishes untested by us.
We are also paying the duty/tariffs/fees to the USA but not any state taxes (which you don't generally get).
This is the small size version of our All Natural Line of cutting boards perfect for all of your light duty cutting or chopping needs or perfect as a cheese board. It is approximately 6" Deep x 15" Wide x 7/8" thick. (Sizes can vary slightly +-1/4"-3/8" as each of these are custom made from one piece of wood)
This is the perfect sized board for someone who needs a cutting board to cut herbs, an onion, some garlic, and take them right to the pot on the board to scrape them in! It is also the perfect size to cut an apple or make sandwiches for the kids and bring them right to the table on the cutting board. A very useable size but not so big that is takes up too much counter space when left on the counter in its own easily accessable spot.
The handle is perfectly carved and silk smooth, fitting in the hand comfortably, as well as tapering from narrow to wide to ensure a solid grip. This cutting board can be hung on a hook or left flat on its all natural gum rubber non-slip feet on the counter.
It is hand made with care in Canada using one solid piece of Virgin Canadian Hard Maple (Sugar Maple) and other all natural materials, and contains ZERO glue!
We leave our boards completely unfinished, they have a virgin surface and are ready to coat with your preferred finish.
The completely non-slip feet on this cutting board are made of hand cut all natural gum rubber, yes, natural rubber from a tree, NOT PVC or synthetic rubber, and they are affixed to the board with high grade (tested for purity) stainless steel screws that will NEVER rust.

Hard Maple is one of the hardest, and most durable woods, and can withstand heavy use in a kitchen. ALL professional grade butcher block and cutting boards are made of Hard Maple. It is a closed grained hardwood (unlike oak, etc) that doesn't absorb bacteria easily, and with antibacterial properties on top of that it makes it the most preferred wood for cutting boards and wooden utensils (they absolutely need to be cleaned properly though)
The completely non-slip feet on this cutting board are made of hand cut all natural gum rubber, yes, natural rubber from a tree.
PLEASE READ/NOTE:
allergy note: * We currently use Coconut oils in our facility as well as the following: Hard Maple wood, cherry wood, walnut wood, gum tree rubber (natural latex), stainless steel (304, and 316), Beeswax. Any and all of these materials may be in or contact your cutting board. We are an all natural company NOT a hypo allergenic one and make no claims to that effect.
Imperfections:
This cutting board is made of one solid piece of face grain Canadian hard Maple. It contains NO GLUES or toxic adhesives of any sort and is completely natural. Remember, that because it is made with one piece of hard wood there are always some completely natural discolorations and imperfections like mineral staining, spalting, knots, etc. There may be darker and lighter areas as well. As we do not fill holes with epoxies or other toxic substances, we DO NOT sell cutting boards with holes, grooves, or any significant defects in the top of your board that could harbor bacteria, there can be some in the bottom or sides as it is not a cutting surface.
Wood movement:
For us to keep these cutting boards glue free and organic, we make them from one piece of wood, note that ALL wooden cutting boards, (and really anything made of wood) will display some movement (warping) from moisture, it can even be from weather change, and boards made from one piece of wood are, in general, more prone to warp than "glued up" edge grain cutting boards. It this happens we can not consider this a defect, we can do nothing about this as wood is a natural material that can and will move. You can usually avoid any excessive movement by keeping your board dry and well oiled.
Note on maintenance: We do recommend that you purchase our organic oil or wax finishes at the same time that you purchase your cutting board as you will need to oil your cutting board to maintain it, and it will save you significant shipping costs versus purchasing the finish at a later time, on their own. If you would like to use your own organic oil, that is absolutely up to you. Remember that our finish waxes and or oils contain high quality ingredients which increase the longevity of your board, which have been tested with our boards, and not using them may result in damage to your board. Maintaining any wooden cutting board with an oil and optionally a wax is a must to help prevent staining, water absorption, and warping and cracking.
