We call this "The Butcher's Board" both because of its butcher knife-shape and the color contrast in the wood creates what looks like a blade. Walnut is a very solid and durable hardwood, so this board can be used for both cutting and serving. This is a smaller version of our Butcher board, measuring 20" long x 7.13" wide x 1" thick. The high contrast between dark and light in the wood almost makes this look manufactured, but it was actually handshaped from one live natural walnut slab and sanded to silky smooth perfection.
