A rare find! This "Franken" board is also a Border Board. Based on how this one turned out, I think we'll do more in the future. The maple in this is stunning. It's a beautiful, clean looking board that definitely has WOW factor!! It's a hair smaller than our normal small size (18 x 12) and the inside maple has a Square look. The walnut edges are just a bit wider than our normal Border Boards. If it speaks to you, grab it. This one won't last.
Frankenboard: When making 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.
We WILL install feet unless you tell us not to.
