No. 213, "The Sheridan" | Walnut, Cherry, Maple, Purpleheart and Padauk Cutting Board, 16x13

Walnut, cherry, and maple with purpleheart and padauk pinstripes. 16 by 13 inches, 3/4 inch thick.

Nothing here was stained. The purple is purpleheart, the red-orange is padauk, and both come out of the tree that color.

The stripes will all move over time and none of them in the same direction. Padauk deepens toward brown-red, purpleheart darkens, cherry reddens in the light. In a year this is a different board.

Edge grain. Milled, glued, flattened, shaped and sanded by hand in East Tennessee, then finished with food safe mineral oil and beeswax. Both food safe. Neither one is a snack.

Care

Treat it like cast iron, not like a dish. Hand wash warm, towel dry, stand it on edge to dry the rest of the way. No dishwasher. No soaking. Oil it when it looks thirsty, about once a month.

Made one at a time. Yours will carry the same woods, but the grain runs different every board, so it will not look exactly like this one.

Keep it fed. A 4 oz tin of board conditioner, the same mineral oil and beeswax I finish every board with, is here.
