Occasionally we have a pretty board that has a few more voids or mineral streaks than we'd like to see on what we consider our premium boards. As we know from Wisdom Behind the Wood, almost all Maple and Cherry have mineral streaks. It is the nature of the wood. Mineral streaks are basically signhs of the tree's immune response when it feels threatened. Pretty amazing! We try to minimize them when we can, but they don't affect quality, form or function. But we give them a little discount because they might not match everyone's personal aesthetic preference.
You can also order finger grooves, a juice groove and/or engraving at checkout.
