Green Bread Board, Birch by Jon Strom

Hand carved birch bread board, stained green on one side, created by North House Instructor Jon Strom.  This solid birch bread board measures 14" long by 7" wide and is 1" thick.  Beautiful board that can last a lifetime with regular care.  The board is stained a beautiful boreal forest green on one side and is a natural birch color on the other side. Hand wash, keep away from direct heat and occasionally oil with a good food-approved finish such as tung oil or beeswax.
