My customer wanted something very specific, which is always great for me! It was to fit behind a specific piece of furniture, within a certain wall space, tight against the wall as well as the baseboard. Also it had to, you know, look good. We went with this 1.5" red oak, stained to fit the general aesthetic of the home. That's one solid piece 8" wide, and only 9' long. One of the best parts was inserting the charging station into the middle, it sits snug and flush.
There is just something special about an end grain chopping blocks. These monsters are easier on your knife, and last longer... if you take care of it. But most importantly every single one is different from the next, having their own bit of flare. Even I sometimes don't know what they're going to turn out like when they're done, but I'm focused on making the best quality anyway. If you love food, love your kitchen, or love someone who does, then one of these are for you. I usually focus on selling these things at craft shows and the like, but I almost always have a dozen or so available.
