Short version: End-grain cherry and walnut checkerboard. A lot of squares.
Long version: This one takes a while to make. Every square gets cut, arranged, and glued up individually — cherry and walnut, alternating, until the pattern holds.
End-grain means the wood fibers run vertically, so your knife slips between them instead of dragging across. The surface closes back up after use. It's a better way to build a cutting board.
14” ×14” square. Extra thick so it feels very solid. 1.5”. Mineral oil and beeswax finish.
