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 medium size version of our All Natural Line of cutting boards perfect for all of your medium to heavy duty cutting or chopping needs. It is approximately 9" Deep x 14" Wide x 1.25" thick. (Sizes can vary slightly +-1/4"-1/2" as each of these are custom made from one piece of wood) This is the perfect sized board for someone who cooks large meals but does not want a cutting board that is too big and takes up too much counter space or storage space.
These boards are re-enforced with two high grade stainless steel rods in the middle of the board to help stabilize the wood, reducing the chance of wood movement (warping).
It is hand made with care in Canada using one solid piece of Canadian Hard Maple (Sugar Maple) and other all natural, and completely non-toxic materials. Contains ZERO glues!
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.
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 stainless steel screws that will NEVER rust.

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.
*For residential use only
Never use vegetable oils such as olive oil, sesame oil, corn oil etc. as a finish on your wooden kitchenware as they go rancid readily
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: Maintaining any wooden cutting board with oil and/ or oil+wax is a must to help prevent staining, water absorption, and warping and cracking.
