Wow! What an absolutely beautiful piece. Gorgeous light and dark walnut wood with stunning contrast and grain; and beautifully designed and crafted juice grooves and collection basin. Very Smart! You’re not going to find something like this made in China! This is fine craftsmanship at its best. And the Black Walnut is grown right here in America and so is this fine piece of woodworking art -- in the tiny little town of Dorset, Vermont. And to think I’m going to cut meat on this and score it all up with my Chef’s knife. Almost hate to. And Wow! The price! You can’t beat this anywhere. I got this on sale for $87.44. If you were to try make this yourself, assuming you have the right tools and skills, a 20” x 14” x 1“edge grain piece of walnut butcher block wood alone would cost you $81 (you can the pricing yourself at Hardwood Lumber dot com). I’ll be buying more to use as Gifts.And in case you’re wondering, why walnut? Here’s why: It’s Non-toxic and is naturally antimicrobial. The compounds in Northeastern American walnut wood and is well known for its antimicrobial effects. Walnut also has the perfect Janka Hardness -- not too hard, not too soft and is preferred by Pro-chefs around the world. It’s self-healing – if you make dents in it, the wood naturally swells and closes them. It has a closed-grain porosity -- all it needs for protection and durability is a bit of “mineral oil” now and then. Also, American Walnut has proven to be reliable and sustainable resource thanks to its carbon sequestration, diverse land use, and its ability to reproduce. And finally, walnut wood seasons and conditions easily; it holds its conditioning for months. A walnut cutting board will last you for years and year when properly cared for.
