These cutting boards are made from hard olive wood imported from Italy and Tunisia. Older, non-fruit producing olive trees are used in the making of these boards. Olive wood is a very hard wood, non-porous and anti-bacterial, unlike less expensive woods such as bamboo. It is beautiful and long lasting.
 
This board measures 17” in length from the end of the handle and 8.5" in width at the widest point. 
 
Each cutting board has been carefully designed with pigmented epoxy resin created to mimic an ocean effect. This process is done in several layers over several days. Please allow for imperfections due to the handmade nature of this item. The resin art on these boards is done on Cape Cod. These boards were carefully sanded to remove excess resin, and sealed with culinary grade, all natural oil and wax to protect the wood. This should be done periodically to prevent cracking of the wood. These boards are hand-wash only (not dishwasher safe) with mild dish soap and water.
This is the exact board you will receive. Artwork is purposely done only on the handle to allow for the most surface area for cutting. Olive wood is used specifically because we believe that these boards should be something that will last for years, not something you can use for a short time before it molds and has to be thrown away. It is recommended to avoid exposing resin to sunlight to prevent yellowing over time.
