This Blank

• SKU: CBB01
• Dimensions: ~560 x 350 x 73mm
• Finish: Planed faces
• Note: This is a live edge piece — one natural edge is retained, adding character and a rustic feel to the finished board. You may notice some surface bug tracks along the live edge — these are caused by insects feeding on the soft cambium layer between the bark and sapwood. They do not penetrate the timber itself and will sand out completely during finishing. Photos show the actual piece you will receive.

Finish with a food-safe oil or wax for a beautiful, functional board. We stock Chestnut Food Safe Finish (500ml) — ideal for chopping boards and any item that will come into contact with food.
