This Blank

• SKU: CBB04
• Dimensions: 505 x 320–350 x 72mm
• Finish: Planed faces
• Note: One natural live edge retained with a sweeping twist shape — this piece will produce a board with a truly unique, organic outline. The live edge has a few tight surface cracks and some tight grain inclusions; these are natural characteristics that should clean up well with sanding and finishing, and add to the character of the finished piece.
