Totally Bamboo’s Checkmate Bishop cutting board is attractive, super strong, and totally "green"! It offers a checkerboard design with large reversible work surfaces. It’s also durable. What more, this beautiful board is made up of strong end grain bamboo. The benefits of using bamboo are numerous. For example: bamboo is 16 percent harder than maple, yet easy on your knives, it’s naturally anti-microbial; it holds the promise of a sustainable, cost effective, and ecologically responsible alternative to the widespread clear cutting of our old growth forests. Totally Bamboo uses organically grown Moso bamboo, so you need not worry about harmful pesticides or fertilizers. Plus, this bamboo is not a food source, or a habitat, for the Giant Panda. Totally good for you and totally good for the environment! Board is easy to maintain. Wash with warm water and use Totally Bamboo’s Revitalizing Oil, occationally, to extend the life of the board and keep it looking beautiful. Round: 15 X 1.5”.
