The board
This is a working board. Eighteen by twelve, an inch and a half thick. Mass enough to stay planted under real knife work, and room to spread out.

The construction is edge grain: long boards set on edge, so the grain runs unbroken down the length of the face. The inlay is solid walnut, set into that surface and machined flush. Not printed, not burned. It runs as deep as it looks, and it will still be there after years of knives.

Cherry
Firm enough to last. The grain is closed. No open pores to hold water or odor, so the surface finishes smooth and dense.

Patina
Cherry darkens as it lives. Blonde now. Amber within the year. Richer every year after. The patina is earned. A new board cannot fake it.

Feet
Rubber feet lift the board off the counter, so it dries flat and even. They grip, too. No slide while you work.

Northeastern wood
Grown in the hardwood forests of the Northeast. Worked and finished here in Maine.

Each board carries its mark. Maine Object Company. Kitchen Series. The number of the edition.
