Bloodwood Thin Cutting Board Strips

You're in good hands because these cutting board strips are cut from premium kiln dried lumber. They're ready to be ripped or cut to make your own custom cutting board. Be sure to grab 10-20 of these thin strips to build a 10"-15" wide cutting board.

Why Choose Bloodwood?
Extraordinarily hard, dense, and tight grained. Bloodwood often holds a lot of tension in the wood, making it unstable and prone to twist or cup. It's best used in small pieces. However, woodworkers like the way it finishes and polishes, and the vivid color is always eye catching.

Thickness 3/4" (≈ 3/4" approx)
Width 1-3/4"
