Handsome and practical at once, this ample cutting block from Snow River simplifies heavy-duty chopping and slicing tasks while protecting knife blades. Crafted from 2-inch solid end pieces of North American cherry, the pretty unit features a butcher-block pattern and a surface large enough for chopping a mess of potatoes or dicing a pile of onions. In addition to looking attractive, Snow River's popular end-grain construction is also good for knives because the wood separates slightly then rejoins with each cut. Helpful for blades, this also reduces visible wear-and-tear on the board compared to ones with horizontally oriented grain. Measuring 16 by 18 inches, this block is crafted in the U.S.A., sanded by hand, and finished with food-safe oil. --Emily Bedard A georgeous hardwood that will the focus of any kitchen.
