Occasionally we make cutting boards that are perfectly functional and structurally sound, but they aren't as aesthetically pleasing. Almost all of our maple will have some mineral streaking. (You can read more about that here.) Streaking is organic to this species and can't be avoided. However, we do try to use wood that minimizes the amount of streaking or voids. In the case of this board, it is absolutely beautiful, but has a few too many voids (filled now) and streaks to pass our test to sell as a "first run" board. There is nothing wrong with it and it will serve beautifully for years to come. We just didn't feel like we could sell it at full price.
For this one, we WILL install feet unless you tell us not to.
