Even though we have our system down to a science and have an extremely skilled team, sometimes the board just doesn't fully cooperate. Even though this board is completely structurally sound, we don't like for the glue joints to be as visible. In Maple it is a little less noticeable, and in Walnut it tends to stand out a little more. Either way, our goal is tighter glue joints, so we gave this one a discount since it isn't perfect.
This board also has a couple of wind checks. A wind check is an internal fracture or separation that runs along the tree's annual growth rings, caused by severe wind stress on a living tree. They are characteristic because the checking is perfectly perpendicular to the annulary rays in the wood grain. Those checks exist at a microscopic level throughout all hard maple, but sometimes become visible. It's possible the check may even close up at some point. It will not affect the function of the board.
This board already comes equipped with Finger Grooves. A Juice Groove and/or engraving are also available for a small fee.
Feet will NOT come standard on this board, but if you order a set we will be happy to install them for you.
Most maple has mineral marks within the wood. It is how the tree goes with its unique idiosyncrasies. Since Maple is a lighter wood, those mineral streaks are very visible. These marks can't totally be avoided. In this case, the board is very "clean", meaning few mineral marks are visible.
Maple cutting boards need a lot of oil, so please don't forget to add a care kit! All cutting boards need to be oiled to full saturation, but especially maple!
