This little maple board is what we call a Frankenboard.
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.
This is a great little sidekick. The strips do repeat, so it's hard to tell that it isn't one of our premium boards!
We can add feet, grooves and engraving as well. All sidekicks come with finger grooves.
