Basket Weave Cutting Board

Overview

The basket weave pattern on this cutting board is achieved by carefully gluing and re-cutting strips of alternating maple and walnut, then rotating and re-laminating them to create the interlocking woven appearance. The result is a board that’s as striking as it is functional.
