This Blank

• SKU: CBB03
• Dimensions: 495 x 325 x 74mm
• Finish: Planed faces
• Note: One natural live edge retained. The timber itself is clean and prime throughout. 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, and do not penetrate the timber at all. They 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.
