The medium is laminated hardwood. We have a selection of hand-crafted cutting boards, knife blocks, and game boards suitable for every taste and budget. All are constructed of solid laminated hardwoods designed for long-lasting utility and artistic beauty. The laminations are bonded by a water-resistant, non-toxic aliphatic resin.
