This Blank

• SKU: CBB02
• Dimensions: 500 x 320–330 x 72mm
• Finish: Planed faces
• Note: One natural live edge retained. The live edge has a few small inclusions and areas of rolled-in grain compression — these are natural characteristics of the timber and will sand out completely if you’re going for the fully smooth, celebrity chef look. Alternatively, left as-is they add genuine rustic character to the finished board. 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.
