There's something about a great cutting board that brings people together — and this one was built for exactly that moment. The Extra Thick Multispecies Butcher Block Cutting Board - Large - Fire Food Friends is a bold, statement-making piece that's as functional as it is beautiful. Precision-carved from premium hardwoods and finished by hand in our Missouri workshop, it's made to handle everything from a backyard cookout to a holiday spread.
At its core, this board is about the experience — the sizzle of the grill, the clink of glasses, the laughter that fills the air when good people gather around good food. We built it thick enough to be a serious prep surface and beautiful enough to carry straight from the kitchen to the table without missing a beat.

The longevity and appearance of any wood item depends on much more than how often it's re-oiled or re-stained. How and where an item is displayed or used, along with factors like lighting, temperature, and humidity or moisture exposure, all play a significant role in how your piece ages and what kind of maintenance it will need over time. Every customer's environment is different, and item care is as unique as the home it lives in. We're happy to share what works for us — but the care of your item is ultimately in your hands, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Have specific questions about caring for your piece?
