Why Choose Bubinga?

Uniquely beautiful with an elegant-yet-natural violet to mauve color. The wood is very fine grained which makes it fantastic with a simple clear finish. Harder and denser than most woods, but it'll reward you with unsurpassed beauty in your project.

You're in excellent hands with these cutting board strips, expertly cut from premium kiln-dried lumber. They come prepped and ready for you to rip, cut, and arrange into beautiful color combinations and patterns, allowing you to craft your own custom, handcrafted cutting board with ease.
