Totally Bamboo 19.5-in. Chop Collection Bamboo Butcher Block Cutting Board
Every kitchen should boast one of these butcher block cutting boards. Measuring a good 19.5-in. x 11.75-in., this unique bamboo cutting board is hand crafted using hundreds of tiny laminated bamboo strips.
Unlike most other hardwoods, bamboo absorbs very little moisture and consequently does not shrink or swell as much, making it a superior choice of material for cutting boards. It is 16 harder than maple, which means less visible knife marks keeping the cutting board looking brand new for years to come. Handwash with a mild dish soap in warm water and periodically wipe with mineral oil to bring out the beautiful grain of the bamboo.
Do not put it in the dishwasher or let it soak in water. Why bamboo? Bamboo is actually a grass that grows to a harvestable height between 3-5 years. Some species grow up to 2 feet per day. After harvesting, bamboo does not require replanting. Bamboo has an extensive root system that continually sends up new shoots, naturally replenishing itself, making it one of the most renewable resources known.
