My Boardsmith Black Walnut Cutting Boards are my new kitchen works of art. I sent an email to "Sawdust" asking for a "WOW" board, and she certainly delivered. My wife actually did say WOW three times when she first saw both boards. The Carolina Cut main board, and the companion Side Kick are artfully matched to add a touch of elegance to any meal. The contrasting colors and patterns are beautiful. I couldn't wait to show off the boards, so I arranged a mid-week steak dinner party for my daughter's family. They enjoyed the steaks, and I enjoyed the many "WOWS" I got during the evening. Yes, I know their expensive, but if you consider the materials and craftsmanship, they are a bargain. I highly and strongly recommend The Boardsmith cutting boards without hesitation.
