Natural Antimicrobial Properties of Walnut: Walnut wood, which is used to make the cutting board, has natural antimicrobial properties that inhibit the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms. Because of this it is a more hygienic option for food preparation. Creating a face grain Cutting Board: To create a face grain cutting board, dense hardwood like walnut or maple is carefully chosen, and the wood pieces are cut and glued together, ensuring that they are precisely aligned to form a unique pattern. The board is then meticulously sanded and polished to ensure a smooth and even surface. It is then treated with food-safe mineral oil and wax, making it a safe option for food preparation. Since each board is made by hand, the maker pays attention to every detail, ensuring that the alignment of the wood pieces is perfect, and the surface is flawlessly smooth. This will make a great addition to any kitchen or cooking area. (Disclaimer, Although we do everything we can to create quality products, it is important to know that we use completely natural wood so we are unable to control things like grain patterns, knots, markings or wood coloration.)
