What's Roasted Lumber?
It's a chemical-free process that cooks the wood under pressure. And the results are incredible! Your boards transform with 100% dark color all the way through, and a newfound resistance to water and weather that it did't have before. Bottom line for woodworkers? An elevated appeal for outdoor furniture and cutting boards.

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.
