There is also a matching trivet for each butter board.

This is 2 separate cutting boards. They are small boards approximately 6 1/2" x 11 1/2" x 1 1/4" in size. The boards are comprised of Canarywood, Padauk, Purpleheart, and Hard Maple. The cutting boards have not been cut down to size yet so, they may be a bit larger than listed.
The boards are still in the shop and have not been sanded and bathed in mineral oil.
Raw Boards Before Mineral Oil Treatment
Once the boards have been sanded and the feet applied, they take a generous 30–45-minute bath in food-grade mineral oil. This really makes the colors pop as well as protecting the wood.
Below are the boards packaged and ready to go.

I have found your site very interesting and informative. I enjoyed it very much. You sure get a lot of mileage out of your limit space. I have been doing a little woodworking and stained glass and was thinking of ways I could incorporate the two that I could get a reasonable price and still make a few bucks. Your site seems to take a large amount of time and input from you. By the way, where do you purchase your lumber from?
Sorry, I’ve been sick the past few weeks and haven’t felt like doing much.
I get my wood from Capital City Lumber in Raleigh and my other stuff from Lowes.
