Long Grain Cutting Board | 27x22x2.5cm

The smallest of the acacia long grain boards. A bench-side board for garlic, herbs and the jobs that do not warrant hauling out something bigger.

• Sustainably sourced acacia. A richly grained hardwood where no two boards carry the same pattern. Hard enough for heavy daily use, naturally antibacterial, and naturally resistant to moisture and wear.
• Long grain construction. The grain runs along the length of the board, giving a softer surface that is easier on an edge.
• Kinder to your knives. Timber is softer on a blade than glass or stone, so edges stay sharp longer.
• Naturally more hygienic than plastic. Wood has inherent antibacterial properties and does not hold the knife scarring that plastic does.
• Measures 27x22x2.5cm. Sized so you can check it against your bench before you buy.
• Finished to show the grain. Treated to bring out the colour and figure of the timber rather than bury it under a coating.
• Hand wash and dry. Timber does not belong in a dishwasher, and a wipe down keeps a board going for years.
• Oil it now and then. A wipe of food-safe mineral oil feeds the timber and keeps the grain from drying out. Do that and a board like this outlives most of the kitchen.

Peer Sorensen has been making timber boards since 1981.
