A Versatile, face-grain cutting board equally suited to cutting or serving.

Ailanthus is a prolific grower that will take root almost anywhere, propagating quickly. As an invasive species it’s considered a nuisance, often chopped down and relegate to the fire pit. It makes a beautiful, lightweight but hard lumber, however, and we’re more than happy to turn this nuisance into a cared-after object! The batch for this edition comes from logs salvaged from a trio of felled trees just off Division Street here in SE Portland. These logs were sawn, dried, then turned into this batch of book-matched cutting boards.

2021-2023 batch | Limited edition of 24

Available only in size small (7” x 11” x 3/4” thick)

Sealed with pure tung oil; a durable, food-safe, and environmentally friendly finish that hardens deep in the wood fibers. Easily refreshed with a cutting board wax of your choosing.

Natural variations in color and visual texture lead to each looking one of a kind. The board pictured here is one such example of what you’ll receive.
