Sapele End Grain Chopping Board, Butcher Block, Island

$50

An exotic hardwood similar in strength to white oak, sapele is stronger than its visual cousin mahogany due to an intriguing interlocking grain, making it a fine choice for end grain food preparation surface. It does present a slightly difficult surface to finish, but then again some character is part of any functional wood surface's charm. Non-scarring, self-healing and most gentle on your good knives, only end grain constitutes a genuine chopping block.
