Joyce Chen 14 Inch Round Bamboo Chopping Block

Handcrafted from laminated premium bamboo using food-safe materials and techniques, this cutting board is a beautiful and practical addition to any kitchen. The bamboo retains its natural colour and will not dull knives.
Hand clean with warm water and mild detergent; dishwasher cleaning not recommended.
Bamboo is a grass that functions as a single plant, self-propagating as it spreads horizontally underground. It continually sends up new shoots, naturally replenishing itself and making it one of the most renewable resources known. Bamboo is not harmed by harvesting and can grow into mature fibre in three to seven years. It is more durable and 16% harder than maple, and a third lighter in weight than oak. Bamboo holds the promise of a sustainable, cost-effective, and ecologically responsible alternative to wood.

Island Bamboo 14 1 2 by 5 1 2 by 3 4 Inch Cheese and Bread Cutting Board

This cutting board is not only beautiful with its dark center and light edges, it’s also an environmentally responsible product. While the board has the rich grain found in wood products, it is actually made of bamboo, a completely renewable grass. Aside from its positive impact on the environment, bamboo has become the cutting-board material of choice among professional chefs as it has a longer lifespan than traditional hardwood boards. Bamboo is 16-percent harder and lasts three times longer than maple (the former material of choice) and weighs 1/3 less than oak so is easier to lift and serve from after slicing. Another perk is that bamboo absorbs little moisture so is not likely to experience the shrinking and swelling that can eventually warp hardwood blocks. Measuring 14-1/2 inches long, 11 inches wide, and

Totally Bamboo Little Chop Chop Cutting Board

Did you know that bamboo is 16% harder than maple? Did you know that bamboo is actually a grass, not a tree, that grows to a harvestable height in three to four years? Some species grow nearly two feet in a single day. It has an extensive root system, new shoots are continually sent up so it never requires replanting. This makes bamboo a sustainable, cost effective, and ecologically responsible alternative to the use of hardwoods for home products such as cutting boards. The beautiful colors of this board are natural and permanent. Through a specialized heating process the natural sugar in the wood is caramelized to produce the gorgeous honey tones.
