Occasionally we make cutting boards that we call "Frankenboards".
Frankenboard: When making a butcher block, the first step is to glue up a large panel. We then cross-cut strips from that panel, turning them on end in sequence and gluing those together to form the final butcher block. We often have extra strips from any given panel. When we have a butcher block formed from strips from more than a single panel, that’s a “Frankenboard.” Nothing wrong with it, it’s just that the look of the grain pattern from one row to the next doesn’t necessarily flow seamlessly.
As we know from Wisdom Behind the Wood, almost all Maple has mineral streaks. It is the nature of Maple. We try to minimize them when we can, but they don't affect quality, form, or function. This one has just a couple of mineral marks and is a lovely board.
Feet will NOT be installed on this little cutting board, but if you order a set, I'll be happy to put them on for you:
