Chopping Block Find

[mick]

Found this at a local 'close out' store-- not Big lots, but sorta a Junkie Industrial Big Lots LOL Anyway, how many times do you find a chopping block with spalted wood?? Bought two, but the other isn't near as neat as this one. Question: Should we cut it on the diagonal?

Interesting.

I bet you will see more "wood" chopping/cutting boards being dumped soon. I think I heard something about resturants not being able to use the wood ones anymore.

Looks like a good deal. Check out this ebay auction for what looks like a similar board, maybe a little darker than your picture, but going for a high price!

Any way you cut it - it will look good and turn like a burl with all the different grain directions. Good find.

And tests prove over and over that bacteria die almost immediately on wood but can live for days on synthetics. Go figger.

Yes. Diagonal.
